spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 06/22/2017 7:00 pm It does look like a lamination error. From the pic, I can't tell if it's retained or peeled.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 06/22/2017 7:17 pm Nice find. Put it in a flip or 2X2 to keep it safe. As for it's value ... error coin prices are all over the place. Check ebay for similar items and the look at the SOLD prices to see what it is really worth. I just checked the bay and sure enough, the prices are all over the place -- and some of the error coins are not error coins at all. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 06/22/2017 10:39 pm first misprints generally involves paper currency or stamps. Coins are better known as a strike or has been struck. The current image is ok, but still difficult to make out if the LAM is retained or peeled when I enlarge on this end. I'm leaning towards peeled after strike due to the dates appearance. Note the date would still be present under a thin to medium lamination. If LAM is still attached, keep together for a better or cool packaged deal down the road. Thanks, Doug.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 06/23/2017 8:13 pm Yeah, definitely not a retained lamination. Still, worth a few bucks. Report this Post to the Staff
