A 1930 Streaker

[JC Stevens]

This is a very neat looking coin. On the both sides I see what I see as a coin struck on an improper alloy mix. On the reverse at K-5 is a fragment of metal that is the same color as the streaked metal. This could be a fragment that was stuck to the planchet before the strike, note how it over laps the rim, and struck into the coin. The fragment looks more like brass or bronze than copper. Then again it could be a lamination peel. What do you think?

[willbrooks]

I guess it is hard to say for sure one way or another, but lamination peel seems more likely.

A lot of lamination going on from the M in UNUM all the way down to the large chunk... I think that is just part of the peel... Nice find!!!

...but it was too late. She'd already been mooned. Here he comes, boogeda, boogeda. There he goes, boogeda boogeda. And he ain't wearing no clothes. Oh yes they call him the streak!

:angel: I think y’all been looking through eggnog colored loupes.

I remember Ethyl, it cost about 5 cents more a gallon.:~

Thank you, sir. That made eggnog come out of my nose. On a side note, I actually heard this song on the radio this year. It was high on the list of worst songs ever made. Are we off-topic yet? In the future, please start a new thread when talking about a song which is divergent from your coin. :sign10:

LOL, go sit in the penalty box. Feel shame!! FYI the third Gatorade bottle from the left has the eggnog in it!!

[onecent1909]

I drank that bottle... wife sent me there last week

ON the coin note...
Nice coin LAM peel...
My 1 cent opinion

[mrmike916]

I've noticed many laminations accompanied with improper alloy, and think that in some cases the impurity may create the lamination error.

They are often related. Either an impurity or normal metal that's not mixed.
