I was prompted by another post here about 1943-4-5 nickels with large die cracks, to have a look through my errors thinking I had something like them. What I found was a 1942T with a lamination similar to the die cracks shown. Anyone starting a tombac or George V lamination collection?
I've seen a few tombac laminations; I wonder if it was something with the production process that made them more susceptible? Also, production standards were slightly relaxed during WWII (hense the die cracks).
Unfortunately, laminations are in the blank so they are different on each one, so there is no "set" to collect. But that is a very nice lamination and I bet that would be worth a pretty penny to an error collector!
