1937 wheat cent lamination or cud error?

I found a 1937 wheat cent with some funky stuff going on on the obverse! Just wanted your guys opinion!

It looks like either Lamination or Die chips. ??
Awaiting more answers.

 

Those are Laminations (Peel).

 

Being close to the rim, it may be some folded over material from finning.

 

Very strange.

 

I'm gonna go with lamination.

 

Not a cud but it is a lamination.

 

Nothing more than some sort of substance stuck in the surface of the coin.

 

Yes, copper from where it peeled left to right starting at the rim. That’s what makes it a lamination.

 

Do these carry any premium not looking to sell just wondering what I have?

 

What you have is nothing worth any premium.

 

Lamination errors can carry a small premium but they are so neat to find. Being as it’s on a 1937 Cent coin only a few dollars but that beats face value.

 

The ‘peel’ appears much wider than the area it may have peeled from. And it is far too thick in its prominence above the coin surface. It’s old glue or some such substance from what I am seeing.

 

That’s because part of the rim is in the peel.

 

But the rim looks normal. If it peeled from the rim, that would have had to happen before the coin was struck. But then the coin would not look like it does now after the strike. For this and other reasons it’s just a foreign substance affixed to the coin.

 

Afraid we’ll have to agree to disagree.

 

We used to call these 'peeled laminations'

It's genuine, and a lamination. Looks like
both pieces started just off the left rims,
and folded over at some point - a common
effect on some laminated planchets.

 

I thought so just wanted to make sure my suspicions were correct! It’s an awesome find though! Definitely will go in my error box and never leave lol

 

Don’t just toss it in the box. Put it in a flip first. You need to protect it. You wouldn’t want the peel to break off.

 

Not a major error but it's a lamination peel. I love finding these.
