Strike through???

1945 Philadelphia mint wheat cent— is this a strike through?? I saw one (1956) on Couch Collectibles and it looks like this...

That is a lamination Vicki.

 

Dammit

 

So is that nothing then?

 

What's your problem?

Laminations are great mint errors!

Please show a picture of the entire Obverse.

 

Laminations and strike through's are pretty much the same value wise. I would rather find a lamination than a minor strike through.

 

I don't even have one .

 

Yup, lamination. Not a bad one either!

Here is an example of a struck through debris error. This is on a Morgan Dollar I own. Notice how it has the appearance that something like a small piece of wood was between the die and the planchet as it was struck?



Here is a lamination. This example is on the reverse of a Buffalo Nickel I have. Notice how it looks like someone came along and started to peel the metal off in a strip? This is caused by a bad alloy mix. Notice how you can see the edge of the lamination travel all the way to the rim of the coin.
