Is this common? Is it worth much more than melt?

Since it's circulated it wouldn't have a huge premium but it is worth more than melt. Is that a cud at 4:00 or just another planchet flaw? How's the reverse look?

Thats a rim dent--actually a small puncture in the rim. The reverse is normal. Its a Denver mint product.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
I ask because I am trying to figure out another silver coin with a similar planchet flaw

<< <i>I have to ask this question: Do you think that the planchet flaw/de-lamination occurred before or after striking took place?

Looking at this lamination, Id have to say that the lamination was attached during the striking of the coin and now has peeled or was torn off the host coin. This is a huge lamination flaw and would carry only a slight premium to an error collector. It would have been better had this not been a circulated coin, but on a neatness scale it is about a 6.5

In my book this is a very cool coin, no question. But does stuff like this lamination increase the value? I always thought lamination decreased the value....

And for yet another opinion, I'd think it would be worth more circulated than uncirculated. You'd think an error like that would have either been pulled by the bank, a collector or just some random person who thought it looked cool well before it had the chance to circulate all that much.
