skoonce65 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 10/25/2017 7:56 pm I have a 1937 penny that had a fairly significant die error or clash. Have you seen one similar and does this do anything for value? What is this error actually called? Thanks! Sam Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 10/25/2017 8:40 pm to the forum! Laminations are just flaws on the individual coin planchet, not made up right and materials separated, part bent back over. Some do go bonkers over these things, I just think of them as normal coin damages. Report this Post to the Staff

Second, I agree with the others that your coin has a lamination and while this flaw occurred while the coin was at the mint, any premium will be pretty modest. It is an interesting coin and worth saving!

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 10/25/2017 11:06 pm Yep, it's a lamination error. I would say that the earlier date is a plus and some people would buy it. I've sold a few lams on ebay between $5-$10. Can you post full pics of the coin?
