<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ziggy9, post: 1031156, member: 8360&quot;]I don&#039;t think this is lamanation at all. Laminations by nature tend to be in one direction, the direction of the flow of the poorly mixed alloy. To have a lamination error occur all the way around the edge of a coin would be virtually impossible. The odds against it happening that way on BOTH sides of the coin are astronimical. I beliueve that this coin is actually damaged post mint. I believe that this coin has spent some time in a clothes dryer or similar type tumbling machine. At the same time that the edges were beaten and stretched back into the field of the coin the surfaces of the coin were hit and rubbed in such a way that the details were flattened and spread out to give it that &quot;mushy&quot; look. This is just my opinion but I have seen other coins like this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Richard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
