  That's a relatively minor lamination but it's cool that you pulled it from pocket change. Good eyes catching that one.

  Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

  It may be a lamination error, but I am a bit skeptical. Metal flakes seldom take the form of an elevated wafer that is raised on all sides. Instead, it could be a retained interior die break. There's no way to tell exactly what it is without a close examination under a microscope.

  It's a piece of metal attached to the coin from what i can tell, and i've look at it under 16X magnifying glass i'll change the name to error coin till i can figure out what kind of error it is
