Kman Pillar of the Community Canada 933 Posts	Posted 01/09/2012 7:31 pm After researching a coin I had found the other day I think it would be safe for me to say that it is a lamination error. Edited by Kman 01/09/2012 7:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 01/09/2012 7:34 pm The photos are very good for a 1 poster. The coin has what ia called lamination http://www.coincommunity.com/dictio.../coins_l.asp. as well as areas where the metal has completely fallen off. This should give the coin some extra value but I have no idea how much. Report this Post to the Staff
clary1265 Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 01/09/2012 7:41 pm Thank you very much for your response. I have another penny and a nickel to post that may be the same classification. Report this Post to the Staff

Kman Pillar of the Community Canada 933 Posts	Posted 01/09/2012 8:51 pm The other looks like struck through die cap and a lamination error. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/09/2012 10:38 pm The first coin does have a lamination. The second coin is damaged, it would be a " Dryer Coin" like the ones in your other post. It got stuck in the fin of a commercial clothes dryer and repeatedly tumbled against the steel drum. The banging and rolling action causes the rims to fold over onto the faces of the coin and an overall flattening of the coin's detail. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/10/2012 06:47 am Here's my thought, 1st coin is a nice lamination and the 2nd coin looks like it has glue on it. EDIT: Just checked your other post and now I think it's a Dryer Coin not glue. John1 Edited by John1 01/10/2012 07:00 am Report this Post to the Staff
