Would love to get some idea if this is a "lamination error" is it very rare and does it make this coin especially valuable? Thanks so much! I'll be posting more coin errors I've found soon.

Take a look at my real lamination silver War Nickel for an example of what to look for: No date Philadelphia War Nickel, severe lamination: Laminations exist in many different sizes and patterns on coins, dependant on how the coin was made.
