    I've tried to look this up but not finding clear answers. I assume it is possible but never assume is what I was always told. This 58 Lincoln defiantly has detached lamination on the C of Cent just wondering if the O of ONE is considered retained lamination.

    That is a nice planchet error coin. Lamination, with detached and retained is what I would call it.

    The O in One in a nice lamination error and it looks to be before the strike occurred. It also appears to be a crack or part of the lamination, from the top of the wheat stalk to the E and it appears again between the E to under the P in E. PLURIBUS.
    Another small lamination appears to be on the wheat stakes itself, just above the wheat. As for the depression under the C in CENT, that looks like damage before the strike as displaced metal is on the lower side but it could be a lamination. The top of the C is another lamination.

    A two way. A lamination and a struck through, in my opinion. The lower part was detached while the piece was moved upward and struck as it was minted. If you look closely at the edge of both the depression on the top of the C in cent, and the edge of the struck through fragment under the O in ONE, they appear to match.
    Using a tooth pick, try to determine if the lower is incised and the upper raised.
