Found a 1917 Wheat penny in a abandon vehicle and I need some advice. It looks to me that this could be an error coin, on both sides of it, the reverse side looks like there could be another image or something. Can I get others input on this.   |

 to CCF. Looks like it may be a lamination error. John1  |

I would agree with lamination error, but the rim dings make me think it might just be damage.
Now if you stumbled on a flashy red 1917 cent in an old car (hard to tell from the pics if it's original color or cleaned), that would be something truly special!

Even if this is a lamination error, the value would be determined by the grade. The photos you provide aren't quite sharp enough to offer an opinion.

Not so sure of lamination error on obverse Loo's like a scrape in a NNW direction flipped a piece over and whatever caused it had enough pressure to adhere this flake. Same w/reverse, but all could be caused by faulty planchet to begin with. Because of the amoynt of damage to an otherwise XF coin it isn't worth than a few bucks, at least that would be all I'd pay.

Looks more like damage then lamination , even the rims are messed up .I believe this damage happened when this coin was unc red . Now it's almost worthless .  |

This looks more like post mint damage than a lamination error especially considering the areas around "T" in "CENT" and "STATES" on the reverse.

Even with the damage, it's pretty cool to find a coin that's 100 years old.  I think it might have some small premium value. It would probably be more fun to keep it. |

I actually believe it's a lamination issue, not PMD. There may be some extraneous damage but, that's not what most of the "anomaly" is, in my opinion. Lamination issues can happen anywhere on the coin, including the rim/edge. I see a diagonal path affected running across the bust and a corresponding diagonal area on the reverse.
