Rosalita Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 10/20/2020 12:01 pm Hi guys, I have this 1957 D Lincoln Wheat penny with die chips in the date and a large crack on the right side of the penny running from top to bottom rim. Can someone explain what this is? I see a few lamination flakes near the bottom right rim below the date. Thanks very much. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/20/2020 12:06 pm That is called a lamination error. While this looks interesting, it really is more of a problem for the coin than worth a premium. I tried selling them before and there was no interest in them. If it were a strong lamination, then there would be interest in it. The last one was a five figure figure coin. But on that type, not much interest even in BU. Report this Post to the Staff
