decoinboy Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 07/28/2008 10:33 pm I just found this nickel and was wondering if it is an error or damage. Thanks for the input. Image: 1943P_1.jpg 86.92 KB Image: 1943P_2.jpg 85.04 KB Image: 1943P_3.jpg 83.84 KB Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/28/2008 11:10 pm Thats is a pretty massive lamination, you lost half the obverse Laminations do not usually have much of a premium but that one would certainly be desirable to someone who wanted it as a severe example of that type of error.

jello9984 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 07/29/2008 06:13 am There to much obverse ware to say lamination error for me it a 35% silver and it looks like it was jammed or pressed in to somthing Or maybe a love token or a started hobo nickel? Report this Post to the Staff

The striated, streaked pattern with peeling layers of metal is a key indicator of lamination. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 07/29/2008 12:11 pm It's a lamination for sure...and a nice one. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 07/29/2008 1:28 pm Definitely a lamination error. I would also categorize this coin as a split planchet error with about 45% of the obverse effected by the split. Another thing that makes this coin interesting is that you can use the same coin to explain a lamination error and at the same time, you can visually see what a split planchet looks like.
