    It's really cool, but I'm not too sure about the price tag image

    The detached lamination could, at one point, still have been attached, and someone could have just separate it more recently for sumbission, right?

    I just saw it this morning on CU... Guess it could have been a clam shell error at one point? image

    Very cool!

    New Orleans Mint quality control--

    The New Orleans Mint had persistent problems with alloy mix and improper annealing of blanks. The Philadelphia Mint sent an engineer there in 1900 and he corrected most of the problems. But pressure from Mint HQ in Washington forced NO to revert to their old practices in order to meet production targets. Naturally, the problems returned.

    (A speculation of mine is that the 1900-O/CC dies were actually repaired test dies used by the engineer and the coins not intended for circulation. But, so far there are only hints in the documentation about this.)

    I saw a guy today with a t shirt on with big letters across the back, "DEA, New Orleans"... as I got closer I made out the small print, Drunk Every Afternoon...

    Does the detached piece also show evidence of a clip?

    That would look even better in a multi-coin... Er, coin-and-fragment multi-holder. Very cool.
