    Hello Everyone! I've never seen something like this. It almost looks like the liberty was torn off then reattached. Any thoughts ? Thanks! 1941 Gash #2.jpg 1941 Gash #1.jpg 1941 Gash re#3.jpg

    It's called a lamination and is caused by voids or defects in the metal before it's rolled into planchet stock. This one goes through the front and back. Nice find
