    Looks authentic to me.... ugly, but authentic.... Not a coin I would consider, but I am not an error collector. Cheers, RickO

    Very nice. Looks like someone pulled the surface flap off too.

    Looks like a deep lamination.

    AMRC, what's the easy tell? I am not well acquainted with errors, and would like to learn. Thanks in advance.

    If you look inside the delaminated space, you will see the continued details of the hair in the lower parts of the cavity. What this means is that the metal had a gap in it when it was minted, and what you are seeing is the impression from the die continuing through to the submetal under the lost chunk.

    I am with you there. I see them a lot on wheats but rather uncommon on silver :D > @BLUEJAYWAY said:
