1925 S LWC Another Rim to Rim Lamination?

I just found this in my accumulation. A 1925 S LWC with a wide Rim to Rim lamination. Having 72 years of stuff just keeps giving. Note that it runs with the wood grain.

Very nice! Great date also.

 

Thanks. I am going through my old LWC's in more detail. I have quite a few with nice laminations and other characteristics. Would I wear our my welcome if I posted more? And, if I continue, should I stay on this post or start another for each coin?

 

Either way. I can’t speak for anyone else, I really enjoy seeing your collection. It reminds me of my grandfathers collection... honest, hardworking coins that he was able to pull out of his change. He amassed several complete sets that many would love to have. Most of his coins haven’t been in circulation for over 50 years.

 

Well I will just do that. I picked these out of circulation a long time ago. I think I held them back because I saw something different about them.

 

Here is a 14 P with major lamination on the reverse.

 

Here is a 29 S with major lamination.

 

Where is your grandfathers collection now? I would like to see it or some of it.

 

The 14 is impressive. That has to be a fold over lamination before strike due to the wheat straw lines on it. I wonder if the 29-s is a “blow hole” type error on the rim? Really nice coins!

 

My cousin has most of it but I have a few he collected when he worked at the Philadelphia mint after the war. I will post them in the next few days, they are in storage. Will be happy to share. I’ll get it here as soon as I can.

 

Take your time. That 1914 has been waiting a while to be viewed. I, too, think it was laminated before the strike.

 

I'm just getting into the oddballs of my "Wheat Cents". I will post some more later. Stay healthy everyone.

 

I think errors are interesting, but do lamination errors increase or decrease the value of a coin?

 

I think they would only have a premium to someone who collects such things. I like them. I found them in change many years ago and will keep them. Others on this forum may give a hint as to values of laminations.

 

1931 P Laminations Obv and Rev

 

Here is another 14 P with several laminations. It looks like it went through WW I and WW II. Please, someone see a D on this one.

 

I’m positive the D fell off with the delamination after strike Very nice coins.

 

Here are two more laminations. A 1920 P and a 1940 P.

 

Nice! It’s really interesting that they are almost in the same alignment.

 

I see that. They are 20 years apart. Neat.
