Silversteveo New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/02/2023 2:45 pm I am still learning errors and rarities when it comes to coinage. So while sorting through my 5 pounds of wheat pennies I found this 1949-S that looks as if the lamination is off of this penny. Can someone help me with this please? I'll be posting more finds soon such as good condition coins and possible errors. So I'm needing as much help as I can get. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Silversteveo New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/02/2023 2:59 pm You gentlemen would be correct. With a better pic it looks like dried glue. Good call thanks. And the weight is 3.2 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 01/02/2023 5:57 pm @sil, first welcome to CCF. Second, if you look on the rev between the letter P of EPU and the letter O of ONE, you will see where some of this glue has already flaked off because the surface toning abruptly changes from darker to lighter. I suspect that if you remove this glue, then there will be more of this dark/light patchiness to the reverse.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/02/2023 6:06 pm Probably Elmer's as it a partly visible to see through. Not a mint error, just an addition through the years. Probably attached to paper at one time. Report this Post to the Staff
sirguardian Valued Member United States 354 Posts	Posted 01/02/2023 7:43 pm If it is Elmers' then water would dissolve this without hurting the coin. I agree it is a type of "Woodie" Report this Post to the Staff
