Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 08:17 am My first lamination error find. Surprised to find it over here in Canada after 60+ years of circulation. What do you guys think? I like it:) I have yet to check it under my scope. I'm not sure what going on with the bottom of the I in five. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21678 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 09:49 am Nice find for up here in the cold north. Looks like the "I" has taken a hit pushing the metal up. Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 09:57 am That's the only thing I could think of the the I as well. I'll get a better look tonight. The coin is in rough shape and I'm not sure of much premium in this shape. Since it's the first one I have found though I'm really happy to add it to my error collection.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 9:53 pm I don't think there's much numismatic interest without major lamination, but it's cool you were able to find one! Definitely a keeper! Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 10:16 pm After looking under my scope I can confidently say what's going on around the F and I in five cents is also part of the lamination and not damage. I apologize for the screen shot but the lam is obvious. I though it might be more on this area. There is heavy MD on the obverse as well Edit: I know it's not valuable but I'm happy to find any new error especially on an American coin over here in Canada after so long in circulation.

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 5:04 pm Anyone know what's going on with the blob on the lam above the monument is? Just part of the lamination issue but no split? Report this Post to the Staff
