    Is this an error or am I hanging into a defaced coin? :rollling: image.jpg image.jpg

    Yes, this is a good example of a lamination error. Nice find!

    Didnt know a coin of that age could have that problem.
    Are they not almost all copper with no lamination added?

    Lamination errors occur when there are impurities in the metal, and they peel. In fact, they occur pretty much solely on copper cents. You will not find a lamination error after the composition change in 1982.
