I won this well-worn 1908 Liberty nickel on ebay today for a dollar. That is quite the obverse lamination going on.

It obviously circulated for decades. I wonder if the lamination was there the whole time or if the coin's surface peeled off over time.

That's a serious lamination. Nice example.

That is a pretty significant lamination!
