Also would like some opinions on value seeing that it's an early off center wheat while also having lamination or strike through going on to boot. If you were me would you guys grade this before selling. Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

shantiom Pillar of the Community United States 522 Posts	Posted 10/29/2023 2:57 pm IMHO the lamination peel is evidenced by americA, where that A is visible, usually when struck through the whole device is gone Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 10/30/2023 12:12 pm Very nice coin. And yes, it is not an off center but an uncentered broad strike as already noted. Something like this, without the lamination, likely would sell around $140. The lamination, however, is likely to lower that value a bit. Multiple errors on a single coin only add to the value if they accentuate the first error, and in general lamination errors are considered detracting to the overall appeal of a coin.

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 10/30/2023 12:35 pm Bats that is funny about lams. For some reason they don't appeal to me either. I don't think I own any or if I do they are in the "sell later" pile. Really cool coin by the way! Report this Post to the Staff
ComeHonor716 New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 10/30/2023 1:15 pm Thanks for the advice tropicalbats. I actually bought one of your minor error lots on ebay a month or so ago. Mostly to resell but kept a bunch of cool stuff. First time actually being able to see an rpm without a scope. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 10/30/2023 2:16 pm Cool! Glad you found some good stuff in the lot. One other thing I should mention about lams is that at least PCGS considers it damage. So unless you pay the fee and submit as an error coin, they will "details" a coin with anything more than a tiny lamination on it. This happened to me with a 1917 Lincoln Cent doubled die, with just a very small lam, and they details graded it. Report this Post to the Staff
ComeHonor716 New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 10/30/2023 2:45 pm I'll just leave it to the future owner to entomb the coin. I know there is someone out there who will appreciate the lam. I sell a few lams a week for $4-$8 depending on date and mm. I'll be looking out for your auction lots, got to keep the shelves stocked. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 10/30/2023 5:43 pm , but thought I'd ask about two other things. Is that a die crack under or through the N in UNUM? Also do the pictures represent the coins appearance in hand? If so, was wondering if sometime in the past, an attempt was made at preservation or was later applied? The (oily) sheen does not look natural. That said I like what I see, but might effect third party grading. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 10/30/2023 5:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
