    This type of error is relatively common. Yours would probably sell for a few dollars, but it's still a really cool find! Where did you get it?

    Common is not the right description in Meow's opinion. Meow has CHR for two years, and would say that to find something like that would be a one in 2000 item. In fact Meow may not have ever found one that was so big on a coin, so maybe a one 30,000 item?

    That is a Lamination (De-Laminated).. Not a Strike Through.
    Nice but no huge premium for it. No more than $5.00 IMHO

    Is that because you can still see the design elements in it?

    A De-Laminated not a struck thru? Okay. Sorry @Jmann3030, I stand corrected.

    That's what I was thinking .
    If it was a strike through, the N and T of cent would be creamed away ..

    To clarify, I meant that they're fairly common if you look for them at coin shows or online. Finding one from circulation or CRH would be a lot harder!

    Yea, it seems you agree with Meow's assessment. Meow knows considering how hard it is to find this "common" error, it does not have much value.

    Found it in a bank some bank rolls along with a whole bunch of 1980's uncirculated almost perfect pennies.i know they all have aold at auction at ms 67 and up for a few thousand and I could possibly have like 20 all different dates and aome of the same dates. I'm new to coin collecting and coin roll hunting and im hooked. Beginners luck seems to get me alot.this is only some of what I found

    You can see some peeling to the right of the T on the 1960 D.

    Danomite What do you say uh-huh

    I’m really curious, how can you tell (on this coin) the difference between lamination before or after the strike? Wouldn’t the after lamination strike have removed most of the devices? I’ve tried to research it, unfortunately I can’t come up with any conclusive answers :(. I’m really interested in the diagnostics. Thanks!

    If you found bank rolls of coins with different dates, it is almost assured that few are uncirculated. Same date roll is more than likely. They may have little circulation, but most of them appear to be less than mint state in the photos. IMO, Jim
