I don't know if anyone ever really was shooting for and error on each year of nickel but guessing this one would be a tough one. It was in a bag of random old nickels I bought for face value from a dealer. 1939-S Jefferson nickel mint error - lamination Report this Post to the Staff

If you look at the laminated section in the field and slightly into the head, you will notice the surface looks like a laminated surface. It is. There was another piece on top of that which fell away, and that section is actually inset below the field's surface. Plus that little hole where it has peeled is deeper than it looks.
