<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SPP Ottawa, post: 2624070, member: 39508&quot;]Unfortunately, being a key date does not add to the value of the error. Key date coins have their value in being problem-free scarcer coins. Errors have their value in eye-appeal. Laminations are cool, but not as cool as a brockage or off-centre strike, and really only of interest in AU or MS grades. I sell lots of Canadian Victorian 25c coins with lamination peels at a discount - error collectors don&#039;t want them, Victorian 25c collectors don&#039;t want them.</p><p><br /></p><p>If this was a common date Victorian 10-cent error, in similar (F) grade, it would be worth about CAN$75 (about double the value of a common date coin). Being a key date however, this is a more important for a date collector than an error collector (for example, as an error collector myself, I would rather have a common date for this error type, or I would rather have both pieces of the error, original plus the lamination peel). Granted, your lamination is larger than most... so I would not discount it that much.</p><p><br /></p><p>A problem-free example of this date in F grade, would be around CAN$300. Your coin is probably worth about CAN$250... the price of a laminated key date would obliterate any value the error actually has.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
