It's a Lamination flaw.

I guess what I am asking is: do these errors make the coins more valuable to collectors? I thought they did as my dad collected so many, but I am scarily new to this.

A Lam with a slight MAD...1914P with photos supplied $4 to $5,

Might also be a SKH, possible double SKH (1 between D and W...2nd between E and T) can't tell for sure..photos not clear enough...

Some collectors put a premium on this sort of thing, but many view it as a distracting defect.

I see you're from Port Leyden. I spent many a winter weekend on the hill, beautiful country.

Luckily, it isn't a '14-D.

To answer your question more directly - this is a mid-VF coin, worth maybe 4-5 bucks in perfect condition. Perhaps lamination collectors would value it higher, but I see it as a defect and would value it at around $2.

Sometimes Lamination errors lower the value of of the coin. So don't always think it is a plus. a strong lamination is worth a lot more. A minor one may just be a deal breaker. When I was selling coins on there, I had one with a lamination issue that got no bids. I still own it.
