So should a LAM on a 1911 D Wheat cent in XF/AU cost less with a large LAM across the face? It was about $20 instead of $40.

I know that grading by PCGS would probably list it as details and not Lamination error, but are sellers just missing a market by reducing price because they say it has details?

Thoughts.

Often details, could mean the coin was cleaned. Most times they will label the coin as genuine without a grade. Or they could mean the details we not graded? (They may consider that as a negative for the coin? So without seeing the coin, I'm just guessing at this point.

The seller has it listed as details in ebay. It hasn't been graded yet (and they have the non-LAM side showing first).

Agree, without a pic it's hard to say. Some collectors (including me) usually consider a lamination as a flaw that lowers a coin's value.

I like lamination issues on coins, the more dramatic, the better. I wouldn't spend $21.97 (what the seller is asking), but I'd jump on it if it were somewhat less.

Thanks all for the comments. I've just trying to understand the the group think on coins like this, and if they were missing a trick.


I wasn't planning to buy the coin at all from the beginning, so anyone making a offer on it isn't stepping on my toes at all. I need a 1911 D but looking for a variety at same time.
