<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 7928312, member: 24314"]What you are looking at is a partially detached lamination. One member at the beginning saw the tiny line running to the left where the metal was not connected at the surface. The big depression is where the surface peeled away because the black impurity prevented the silver of the planchet to bond. After the coin was struck, a chunk came off. If you look closely you can see pushed-up, torn-away metal at the rim. The piece is shown below. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1370394[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
