OK Folks,
Went to another coin show and was handed this one by another dealer friend.
Since the impression is struck into the coin I would believe scrap? something was on the die before the coin was struck?
Any other solutions to what happened to this coin?
Thanks, Eric

It looks like a lam peel, not a struck thru.

I'm with George. From the photos, it looks like a lamination error to me as well.

Looks like lam to me also.

I agree with the lam peel... You may want to get that into a holder... It appears that the first T of STATES has a piece of loose metal semi attached... That T does not exhibit the same characteristics as both As and the sw corner of the second Ts vertical bar... Nice pick!!!

Definitely the result of a lamination. The letters within the lamination area are made up of the same stiations that define this as a lamination. A sure sign of a lamination after strike.

The Items within the questioned area are too clear and crisp to b a Strike Through. Normally you'd see deformation and "blurriness" to the characters. I'd side with lamination

Ok then can a lamination be slightly recessed? I also thought a lamination was usually only on the top of the copper layer. This goes all the way through the copper layer.

You're thinking of a plated cent. There is no"copper layer". This is definitely a lam. Think about it. If something were on the die or planchette, the design can't transfer through that object. With a strike through the design would be missing under the foreign object.

A lamination can be recessed... It depends on how deep the layer or layers are that are peeling off... On pre mid 1982 Lincolns the coins are a solid mix of copper/zinc and/or tin... If the alloy was mix incorrectly or contaminated it can produced micr scopic separations within the solid sheets of metal... Kind of like a bad paint job on a car when it begins peeling away from the inner layers!!!
