Could be a lamination and its a little underweight but I'm thinking more like damage definitely not worth sending in anyway.

 

I think it's PMD, (post mint damage) wait for some more opinions on it tho

 

It could be lamination but also could be damaged and corroded
Not worth sending in to NGC

 

From those pictures that just looks like damage. Were it a lamination error it's not worth but a couple of cents anyway.

 

I Have had the coin for over 30 years and kept it just because it was a wheaty, my phone camera isnt very good but it looks just like something was on the planchet before it got struck

 

Well good for you. I mean, what do you want us to tell you?

 

Try a setup with your phone camera where the coin and the phone are parallel to each other to get a direct shot with no angle, that might help give your photo more clarity and not so much blur, I'm willing to admit it if I'm wrong, but from what I can see in those pictures I cant tell for sure...

 

Just what type of planchet error it might be and if anyone thought if it were worth sending out, and that was answered . thank you for your time and help

 

Putting the phone on top of a soda can and very slightly zooming in can take a stable photo.

 

You're welcome.

 

Thank you, is this any better ?

 

It looks a lot like PMD but the last photo makes me think it's a worn lamination error. Not worth a lot but nice to have.

Welcome to CT.

 

That is slightly better, I'm not seeing any displaced metal so it could be a Lamination or a strikethrough of some foreign object (not sure what) Usually with an area that size there would be a fair bit of metal pushed up around the edges if it was damaged post mint... I'm not an expert tho lol

 

stikethrough of some foreign object is what I was thinking too, from the cheek to the rim below the word "IN" there is a lip or edge. anyhow thank you for any help !

 

On first glance of your first photos, I was at lamination, but the last photo looks more like PMD, so without it being in hand, I just can't tell, but I would say it wasn't worth sending in either way.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

 

I believe it's a lamination error, but the coin also has environmental damage, which kills any value. Even without the environmental damage, the lamination would only add a couple bucks (if you could find a buyer)
