Are these errors?

    I bought these two nickels from different dealers, neither of which listed them as lamination errors. I was hoping I had cherry picked something, but I really want expert input. I have bought coins with die clashed that weren't listed as such so I was hoping these were errors as well. I didn't spend a lot on them and have no idea if a lamination error would add to the value or not. I just thought they were cool and hoped they weren't junk. Thanks for looking.

    Technically yes, but minor. Lamination on war time nickels is quite common and unless extreme (and even then) are unlikely to bring much of, if any real premium. Many/most view as damage and will avoid, so as with most anything niche, connecting with the “right” buyer is of the utmost importance.

    most laminations decrease a coins value - one reason they aren't often marked by a coin dealer. Hoever, the 2nd coin you show, I see a folded piece of lamination that was struck through, a 'struck through lamination' I believe. Still little interent in minor laminations, though.

    I think the error is too common to demand a premium, unless its the coin is literally falling apart.
