Lamination error on a 100 year old circulated Cent with some corrosion.

 

So is that a pretty good error find?

 

Is this a pretty good error find?

 

It's an ok Lamination Error but nothing major. A Cent in much better condition a lamination as yours would be worth $2 or $3 dollars.

 

It is an error, it is worth keeping.
However, condition is always an important factor.
And this coin is destroyed.
Don't clean it. Just put it in a 2x2 flip and mark it reverse lamination.
As for what happened, look up lamination, under coin errors.

 

Thanks so much! My grandfather and i collected any indian head or wheat penny we found while i was growing up and i just started really looking at them.
