Notice what looks like a bit of corresponding weakness near the reverse rim between 8 and 10 o'clock.
The name is LEE!
<< <i>Looks like a giant "rolled fold" error. Imagine if during the planchet upsetting operation the machine scraped off some metal (leaving it attached at one end) and pushed that metal out over the surface of the planchet where it was later struck down into the coin and spread out quite a bit.

I agree with The Cap'n. Look at the lower left of the 'B'. The "zipper" is too smooth for a lamination. It actually may be a piece of a clad layer that was struck in.
I think it would be worth it.....to a small group of Ike/Error collectors.
It's not one that is seen very often.
Extra fee, I do believe, to get the error bit noted on the holder though....so that needs to be considered. Also, likely to take even longer than normal to get slabbed/graded due to the error bit. Would this also be one going to Fred (through PCGS) for the error confirmation?
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
I think the Capt. nailed it on his evaluation... If you are considering this for the error market, it may be worth slabbing.... Cheers, RickO
I'm not sure the ROI is there on this one. It's probably worth as much or less then the fee of grading as an error at our host.
Very interesting error coin
those who are laughed at always have the last laugh
Captain - I agree it certainly is shaped
like most (not all) Rim Burrs - but it
would be the largest one I've ever seen,
by far.
If it wasn't for the 'zipper' on one end,
I'd be willing to say possible lamination;
but I've not seen a lamination with quite
that (relatively) uniform zipper along one side.
Because of the size, I would probably call
it, as Captain says, a large rolling fold, as it
certainly is bigger than a rim burr.
Would love to know where it (and the zipper side)
originated.....
Neat error...who said Ike's can't be cool? Thanks for sharing!

thats neat looking. i like
I am not an "error guy" so this post is just an observation.
The only thing I see that would make me think it was not a large lamination (due to the crack in the edge) is the corrugated pattern toward the inside of the lamination. The notches may be made or match edge reeding that somehow came into contact with the piece.
