    This is a Strike Through Error not a Lamination Peel Error. It is as obvious as the nose on King George's face that a foreign object has come between the die and the planchet at the time of minting rather than there being any contamination within the metal itself. Again, this is not a Lamination Error this is a Strike Through Error. Repeat Strike Through not Lamination. In this instance what was between the die and the planchet is anyone's guess I would suggest that it were as simple as a small piece of paper or textile given that we are discussing a soft metal.

    Your videos are great Matt, but I would've liked to hear you explain the retention of coinage a bit better. The values of the coins were all intentionally inflated by the proclamation, with the easiest example being the cartwheel penny being doubled in value to 2 pence. So any ships that took cartwheel pennies with them when they left the colony instantly lost half their value.

    Great video and some beautiful coins! - I think the other intention with the proclamation was to over-value the coins - so the lovely copper coin you had which was worth one penny in the UK, was worth two pence here - so it was worth trying to keep them in the colony rather than send them away on ships where they weren't worth as much. Looking forward to seeing what other proclamation coins you get in (even if I can't afford them!)
