Hey everyone,

Was looking through a roll of 1948 George pennies and found this one....I'm pretty sure this is not external damage. Can you help me identify what type of error it is please?

Looks like a lamination issue.

Depends what you mean by 'good'.

They are fairly scarce, but the coin is well circulated.

I would keep it if it were me.

Some collectors love lams, others (like me) view them as just defective coins.
