1970 Lincoln cent missing jaw Lamination

This was an amazing find in pocket change today considering getting cents in change is becoming less frequent. One of my best lamination finds in change.

That is a spectacular find. Thanks for sharing.

If that reverse die was a bit more abraded, it would have also been a better-looking Floating Roof

 

Not an error collector but that's pretty cool!

 

Cool struck thru.

 

A lamination means that it is attached right? If there is still a peal on the surface, a lamination crack, then it is a lamination. I see it as a loss of lamination.

 

That’s a spectacular delaminated coin.

 

I was going to say I think it's delaminated. And if the piece of metal was still attached then it's a lamination. Still an error, but I think they like it with the piece attached.

 

Yep. Well, as they say, You can't have your cake and Edith too". It was in a Hallmark card.

 

I posted this on a Facebook error variety page and it's funny that there are people saying it's not a lamination error. One person said that only Nickels can have lamination errors another said only modern cents can have lamination errors because pre 82 were 95% copper and not laminated like the new ones lol

 

Those pages are full of many members that have absolutely no knowledge of true Mint Errors. They never admit they are wrong when corrected.
Many are stubborn, ignorant and very annoying people!

 

Please correct me if I'm wrong (like seriously, please correct if incorrect) but I believe there are two... types(?) of lamination errors. One where it is still attached, and another being a detached lamination.

I am very intrigued by the world of error coins, and am admittedly still learning them, so take my statement with a grain of salt until someone more experienced chimes in.

On another note, my LCS had sent in a very crazy type of lamination error that I'd never seen before. It was a copper Lincoln Memorial cent, essentially had his face peeled back partly, with the design still clearly visible underneath the peel-back spot. I need to ask him how it came back from grading next visit.

 

That's a really cool find, and in pocket change!? Awesome!

 

My coin is a delamination, I just clump delamination in with lamination error @Michael K is right about desirability it much cooler to find one with the attached lamination but that is so hard to find

 

Here is one from my collection


And after I sent it to NGC for error attribution

 

without a doubt, there's an old saying

 

This is the coin I'm referring to. Any thoughts about it?

 

Damaged

 

this makes me wish I would've sent one of my coins to NGC

 

no its not damage

 

My response was to the 1966 cent, not yours
