Patman54 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Could this be a die crack? Or something else looks like a patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 That’s called a lamination. It is a defect that occurs on the planchet before the coin is struck. bsshog40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Zyskowski Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Hey howdy Its sure interesting. There’s a collector for every coin, it’s been said 😉 I don’t think it’s of high value but eBay has been known to surprise us with what things sell for. I would put it in a home slab or nice plastic 2x2 and learn about it. You’re on the right track for information 🐈 Mohawk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldhoopster Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Nice lamination. Probably worth a couple bucks IF it didn't have the stains on the obverse and reverse. Even without the stains, finding a buyer can sometimes be challenging, but sometimes you get lucky.. Mohawk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coinbuf Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Nice find, errors like this do have a value but the condition of your coin limits that to maybe $10 at the most. The real issue is finding buyers, most collectors that like and collect this stuff would rather find it themselves (as you did) than pay for them. But it costs nothing to list it on ebay, throw it up with a $15 BIN and see if you get any action or offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohawk Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I'm with the others...definite lamination. The coin likely does have some value, but the condition is pretty poor.....the stains and the environmental damage are going to limit the price to, likely, a few dollars. I'd say it's one of those coins that's worth what someone will pay for it. Coinbuf's suggestion to throw it on eBay with a $15 BIN is a good one but I'd suggest one thing: make sure to add that you'll accept offers on the coin. You'll be much more likely to sell it if you do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
