    Very nice large lamination. I am quite amazed by the amount of wear on some of the older error coins. I have a 1942 clipped planchet with just about as much wear on it.

    The first Mint Error I ever discovered was one just like this one. I didn't know the proper terminology so I called it The Crater Cent!
    That was almost 34 years ago. I didn't know better so I shined it up with Ajax Cleanser. When I sent it to NGC about 10 years ago they labeled it Details Grade Improperly Cleaned :facepalm::hilarious:

    Here’s my oldest US cent with a lamination error. Way back when I first joined CT, I thought this might be damage. I’m fairly certain now that it’s delamination.
