SnuggleBuggle82 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 10:25 am I received a bunch of wheat pennies from my grandpa and this one was in this cardboard sleeve as shown. To me it is not in very good condition but I wanted to ask if any of these marks/scrapes, or the gouge is any type of error or did this just get pretty roughed up? I'm just not sure why it was in this case. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Lembafc Valued Member Korea, Republic Of 382 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 10:27 am This is awesome! It is encased because of that fat error there on the obverse. :) Super cool! Report this Post to the Staff
SnuggleBuggle82 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 10:51 am Is a fat error where the "Liberty" is like fatter or could you explain? I tried to look it up but I'm not having any luck to find out what that means. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
examiner Valued Member United States 153 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 11:09 am I think it might be a "strike through" error, meaning something was in the way when the obverse die struck. Report this Post to the Staff
That coin dude Pillar of the Community United States 845 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 11:11 am No you have what is called a LAM, or Lamination error. This is the result of an improper alloy mixture when the planchet sheets were made, notice the tiger stripes on both sides of the coin. your coin is remarkable because the LL side of the obverse is completely delaminated, notice how it is missing, this wasnt done through damage.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 53455 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 11:11 am Guessing this is a lamination. Also looks like a "woody". to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 47757 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 11:54 am I agree it is a lamination error on the obverse. The reason the earlier wheat cents are always so circulated is that they really hadn't been been saved till about 1934. You can find rolls of BU cents back to almost that year. Thus they are rarer to find nice examples after that year. Richard S. Cooper Some have asked about my images I use and I'm glad to say, you can now you can see the DVD in sections on youtube: 1. Intro, older coins, toned coins 2. Doubled dies 3. Die events, One of a kind errors 4. So called errors, Coin information 5.

Lembafc Valued Member Korea, Republic Of 382 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 12:02 pm Yes the "fat error" I was referring to is the lamination error on the bottom left. :) Report this Post to the Staff
Rothery Pillar of the Community United States 681 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 12:19 pm Nice looking cent - the (De) Lamination has shown the improper alloy mix in the coin Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Pillar of the Community United States 2328 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 12:24 pm Woody and (de)lamination. Nice example, would like to have it in my collection. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 37088 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 1:27 pm Looks like a lamination and a woody to me also,nice. John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 5+ Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff
Lembafc Valued Member Korea, Republic Of 382 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 1:40 pm Just out of curiosity, how much value does a delam error put on a coin like this? Report this Post to the Staff
SnuggleBuggle82 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 3:09 pm I definitely don't know lol. If anyone else has an idea please oh please do not be shy to comment. Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 1694 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 4:26 pm Does anyone know if these improper alloy examples tend to delaminate more readily? Just curious. Report this Post to the Staff
