travthenoob New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 11/11/2015 7:03 pm hey everyone! Found this coin in a bag of foreign coins I purchased at a garage sale. I'm very new to coin collecting and this coin, while very exciting to me, is way beyond my knowledge base. Any help, comments, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. hope the pics are good enough first time taking pictures of a coin. Report this Post to the Staff

This site is a resource for error info, so if you're interested check it out: http://www.error-ref.com/lamination...fter-strike/ Yours is quite noticeable, but I don't know the market for these so I'll let others tell you about value.

Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 11/12/2015 11:18 am I think this would sell on ebay without too much trouble. You might get lucky and do a little better. 1979 is a relatively common date for errors. Report this Post to the Staff
Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1222 Posts	Posted 11/13/2015 1:29 pm I agree I think it would do well on ebay, wish it was in better condition but that's a very nice lamination. Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
