KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 12/21/2008 11:19 am I see a thin layer of metal on the surface that was struck with the rest of the coin. I would say this is a lamination error and not damage. Report this Post to the Staff

SeriousCERES Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 12/21/2008 2:52 pm Interesting question; I have a coin with a very similar set of lines--at some point after the holidays I'll try to get a photo posted--and I think it's this kind of lamination error. My question is this: how does a minting problem like this impact the value of the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
latman100 Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 12/21/2008 11:13 pm Value is relative to the demand for the coin. Some people like to collect coins with errors, and may pay extra for them. Again, it depends on how spectacular the error, the overall condition of the coin and general rarity. I don't collect errors and have passed on some amazing ones to other collectors here on CCF and in Australia who would have paid good money for them if they had to buy them.
