Matt_J Valued Member Australia 88 Posts	Posted 10/01/2013 04:31 am Hi Everyone, Today I've come accross a lamination flaw I believe on a 1979 50c coin. Pros - the most drastic I've come accross so I figured I'd keep it. Cons - It appears to have been flawed with 4x flaps and the middle 2 have been bent / snapped off over time. the remaining 2 flaps on the outter coin can be bent easily if any pressure if applied. I havent really looked into lamination flaws or collected as part of errors, although any information on value would be appreciated. Thankyou Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 10/01/2013 7:43 pm Definitely a keeper. Great find. Don't be tempted to play around with the lifted flaps, it's probably worth a little more to a collector with them intact. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/02/2013 12:15 pm Lamination flaws in Australian coins do not add greatly to a scarcity value, perhaps no more than $20 or so above the value of what the coin would otherwise have. Report this Post to the Staff
