cldague Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 01/20/2017 8:24 pm Could use some schooling on lamination errors. Any advice? I found this nickel today, but I am not really sure if its a lamination problem. The other coin I found in a penny roll toady and just wanted to share it with everyone. I thought it was cool! And wish I were there right about now. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/20/2017 8:35 pm I'm not seeing anything unusual with the nickel, a long scratch in front of face on a well circulated coin is all. Might point out what you question on the nickel. Looks like a nice start on contemporary foreign coin collecting! Also use the search tab above to search for "laminations", I use that a lot, learn so much my brain hurts! Edited by Crazyb0 01/20/2017 8:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
cldague Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 01/20/2017 9:20 pm The nickel feels like feldspar when you rub it and doesn't have that shine like all the others. Thanks for the advise I will do that. Report this Post to the Staff

I don't see any lamination problem with the nickel. Moxking was quite correct - I had to look up Feldspar "silk-matte quality that feels like watercut stone to the touch". It's good to expand my vocabulary :) However, from its appearance it would seem rough to the touch. A lamination would represent the same thing - rough surface and sometimes parts of the laminations are peeling away or gone all together. Report this Post to the Staff
