    I thought it was lamination, the seller thinks it's a broad strike?

    Any idea as to the value?

    looks like a lamination to me.

    Lamination and nothing more.

    Agreed. Definately not a broadstrike.

    It could also be a cent struck through a lamination flake that detached from another planchet. The absence of any surrounding lamination cracks and flakes makes this a distinct possibility.

    Anyone who thinks this is a broadstruck coin doesn't know anything about error coins. Hopefully the price is low.

    It look's to me as the lam, peeled off, before the blank was struck. You have details in the recessed areas of the coin. That tell me, that the lam was of before striking. That's the way I see it.

    Have you seen it in person? Almost looks to be plated or coated?

    Just a poor picture. ^.- Seems consistent with poor pictures of cents around that date that I have seen before.
