NickG Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 04/09/2021 4:43 pm Hello forum, I found this 1957 Wheaty with some major lamination issue on both the obverse and reverse. My question is when does a lamination issue add value and not just a coin to keep in the example book? Thank you for you feedback always appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/09/2021 6:56 pm It's interesting, and certainly a keeper, but I don't think I would classify it as "major." It adds a little value, but I doubt anyone would pay more than a couple bucks for it. The area(s) affected would have to be significantly larger to have any real premium. The condition/type of the host coin matters, too. In this case, being a Wheat cent helps, but it's a common date and only average condition, so it doesn't really add any premium on its own.
