So...that being said, we will see about this 1941 LWC that APPEARS to have a struck-trough error that looks very muck like a piece of cloth or paper at the base of the left Wheat Ear. Although there is a scratch on the end of the Wheat Ear as well, this thing appears to be behind some of the devices and appears to have filled in or some other way messed up the "F" in "OF". Looking forward to see what you all think. TYIA Report this Post to the Staff

Spacegirl Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 07/12/2020 5:44 pm Having never seen a delamination in person, I have no idea. But if so , that's cool! Any premium for this type of thing? And since I don't know what coins are worth selling, I have to ask! Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

A few collectors love 'em and may be willing to pick a few up for a few $$. A stunningly dramatic lamination issue on a lightly circulated AU cent might bring $10-$20--maybe more. To get a better idea on value, check ebay for ' Lincoln Cent lamination' sold/completed items. Good photos! Report this Post to the Staff
