Johnny1328 Valued Member United States 268 Posts	Posted 12/28/2010 03:42 am I went through the Lincoln wheat's that I have from a lot I purchased and the ones that I found from roll searching again and I found the following. Would like some help identifying what kind of error it is or mint damage or post mint damage. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

We'll see what the experts have to say,I'm just making a guess.Nice finds! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/28/2010 10:59 am The 1954-S is a die break. It was at one time called the San Jose minted coin. (Which isn't true) One of those cute-sie names for an over used die. Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 12/28/2010 11:41 am the 2nd coin I think is a lamination error i cant see what your seeing on the 3rd coin the 4th coin is a lamination error and I cant see what your seeing on the 5th coin are posting obverse and reverse or just the error side?

Johnny1328 Valued Member United States 268 Posts	Posted 12/28/2010 1:02 pm I posted 3 different coins. the First one is the 1954-S, the second one is the second one is 1937-s, and the third is the 1954-D. Each coin has three picturs, both the obverse and reverse plus a close up of the area, all of them except for the first, I didnt think the reverse was needed, as the type of error that was showing.

chugly Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 12/28/2010 4:49 pm Thanks for posting those cool coins! I agree they are all legitimate errors. Die break, reverse lamination and obverse lamination. I have seen the "San Jose" die break coin before, but have never heard it called that. Again, another great piece of info from Coop!
