drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 10/25/2011 11:17 pm Is this lamination common with these older coins? Does it add or subtract from the value? Am I wrong in calling this a lamination? Report this Post to the Staff

mitchhailey Pillar of the Community United States 1150 Posts	Posted 10/26/2011 01:12 am I think that is PMD, not lamination. I could be wrong though. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/26/2011 12:48 pm I'm going to be the contrarian here and say I think it MIGHT be a lamination. (picture is a little out of focus) but it is minor and would not add anything to the value. In fact considering the placement it could be a negative and detract from the value .

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/26/2011 12:54 pm Yes, it is a lamination as damage to a coin cannot travel under the denticles. There are some more traces on the gown and by the shield. It is not uncommon on Seated Liberty era coins, I have an 1853 quarter with a lamination on the reverse shield. Unfortunately, it is usually considered a distraction to eye appeal, especially larger laminations or delaminations, and can affect the value in a slightly negative way. Report this Post to the Staff

cinemabon Valued Member United States 154 Posts	Posted 10/30/2011 3:31 pm Every time I come to this website, I learn something more about coins and coin errors. I tried to find other website sources on lamination errors. This is what I found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mint-m...s#Lamination ; http://www.australian-threepence.co...n-error.html ; http://www.coinsite.com/html/userrorprices.asp Report this Post to the Staff
jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 10/31/2011 9:49 pm Does the damaged area on the face stick out of the coin or go into the coin? If there is extra metal it could be from a laminaterotisd die-a thin layer is lifted up and partially seperated from the die. Report this Post to the Staff
