What's everyone's opinion on this 1954-s 5 cent? Lamination error or PMD? If not for the scratches I'd definitely say error but I'm not sure now.

I see a die crack nearly bisecting the reverse with an associated lamination, all separate from the obvious PMD scratches.
Rest in Peace

There is definitely a lamination flaw. Nice find!

Any idea on value? I don't usually collect error coins. Seems like the mintage was on the low side for 54-s.

Looks like coin scratches and a lamination.

Considering what I can see of the coin's condition, I wouldn't think any more than $1.
