    Error Other | Is this a lam error or a struck through?

    Howdy, folks! Been awhile. Hope everyone's been doing well.

    I'm posting several clear lam errors on eBay but this one gives me pause as to whether it's a lam or was it struck through
    something? My guess is struck through but your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
    Tracy

    Those are lams and nice ones... Looks like they took a hit causing the metal to be displaced... Nice you were able to check in!!!

      Hello Tracy! Nice to hear from you! Are you thinking struck thru on the reverse? Obv looks LAM to me.

        Yes. It's been many moons since I researched these things and my memory is failing me a bit. Both the obverse and reverse depressions are so deep in places
        it's confusing me. I've just never found a lam with such deep depressions before. The remnants of the wheat stalk on the reverse are puzzling to me for some reason.
        I've seen some similar coins listed as struck through on eBay before but that doesn't mean they were attributed correctly.

          I thought the reverse looks puzzling too, let's see what the others say.

            Thanks, brother! I thought this coin had been hit too but I reasoned against it because I thought a hit causing depressions this deep would have done more overall
            damage to the coin. Perhaps I need to apply some "Nog to this equation!

              It looks like a nice lamination find. Congrats!

                The deep depressions are from the lamination... The metal fell off due to the hits... On the rev there appears to be some light scratches on the west side from a hit... Maybe a coin rolling machine??? On the obv there appears to be a couple of gouges near the rim on the south side of the depression... They run from the field and into the depression slightly... Excellent pics by the way!!!

                  Thanks! That makes perfect sense. I'd sure love to have the missing fragments though!

                      Always nice to have all the pieces... At least you didn't lose all the pieces from the obv... Still should get you a bit of a premium!!!
