Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 06/02/2014 08:38 am My first thought was "Lamination!" but the environmental damage makes me think otherwise. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/02/2014 10:00 am I agree. Lamination error. Note the straight line direction vertically on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Even though it is environmentally damaged, it is still a severe lamination error that is worth something. Let some other experts chime in to determine value. Report this Post to the Staff

jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 06/04/2014 6:50 pm I do sell lamination errors. At the moment, from the current photo's it's worth $2 to $5. Perhaps more. It is worth more than a "normal" 1916-S in that condition. It might, might be worth as much as $15 dollars. So don't throw it in the garbage! Report this Post to the Staff
