dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 10/05/2010 4:02 pm how large does a lamination error need to be (if ever) to add a premium to a coin. here is a 1947P with a fairly signafigant lamination error. fairly ordinary coin except for that. would this have any premium value. thanks Report this Post to the Staff

It really all depends on what the collector is willing to pay for it. Someone may be willing to pay through the nose for "uniqueness". Then again some may find the imperfection less than desirable.

razorear Pillar of the Community United States 613 Posts	Posted 10/05/2010 6:27 pm oih82w8 hit the nail on the head. I collect laminated wheat cents and would pay a couple bucks for it. Key or semi-key dates, a lamination would drag the price down. Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2759 Posts	Posted 10/05/2010 11:04 pm generally, a minor lamination has no change on the price of a coin. If it's on a key or semi-key, it'll drag the price down, as Razorear stated. If the lamination is struck back into the coin, or is otherwise interesting, like these, then it does add a little interest (and a little value). http://indiancenterrors.shutterfly....pictures/147 http://indiancenterrors.shutterfly....pictures/192 Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19986 Posts	Posted 10/06/2010 3:49 pm I agreed with what everyone else said. A lot of it has to do with how interesting the lamination is. Many people collect these. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
