A modest bit of surface missing on this lamination, but I thought this one makes a fairly good example for the error. Laminations tend to have a linear travel direction (even if the edges are convoluted), show a ripple effect where the lamination has been removed roughly 90 degrees to the linear development, and show some level of devices within the removed section. Anyway, 1944 seems like one error and variety-filled year. 1944 Lincoln Wheat cent mint error - delamination

Lamination issue works for me. Love those '44s.

It looks almost like an ear of corn. Great, now I'm hungry!
Very nice lamination!

The weight differences would tell if it is a lamination or a struck through?

Good to see an example of a lamination issue. Gives me a better idea of things to look for. Thanks for the view.

Thanks! Always happy to put up something that helps educate a bit when it's a good example of an error.

We don't usually see them so well-defined and contained within the rims of the coin so well.
(I was thinking it was looking like a skinny amoeba.)
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
