    Wow! It's like a giant lamination that peeled off. I wonder it it's mint made, or post mint damage?

    I cant see how it would be post mint without jagged edges and stuff, but then again I dont collect errors.....there is no damage to the coin otherwise...and the reverse is no problems........

    Like it Russ? Its not even a cameo........

    It happened after it was struck and most likely well after it left the mint but it's still considered a mint error. Very neat but would be much neater if it were a lamination *before* strike.

    Wouldn't the metals be even if it was punched that way.

    It was punched complete and after it was struck the part that is missing fell off - like I said, probably well after it left the mint. This happens when there is funk between the layers of clad.

    Oh, by the way, if your layer was still connected but mostly sepperated, it would be called a "clam shell".
