Hello, I found this Lincoln cent which has a major lamination error on the obverse of the coin. Might anyone be able to guess as to the value of the coin. Thank you in advance.
IT looks more like damage to me. Hard to tell from the pictures. If it is a true lamination error, the value might be a few dollars.
Here is a 1959D Lincoln penny that appears to have a noticeable lamination error. With that said these 95% copper and 5% zink correct. Can you educate me on how they blind in the zink? Is it mixed with the copper in liquid form, then poured in sheets and then coin is punched. I'm trying to understand if the zink was blinded when both where in liquid form how this could be a lamination. I understand that the pennies follow 1982 are 97% zink with a 3% overlay of copper to keep it copper appearance. But prior the this as you know the metal composition is flip flopped. In addition if the pre 1983 pennies are processed the same only the zink being in the center of the coin then this 1959 penney has very little copper. I say this because generally a failed lamination of any kind takes place at joining of different composite. And what this coin be worth.
I'll be honest with you this area seems to be fake it looks like something scratch something dug that after the mint produced the coin
You should create your own unique separate thread. This one is from 2013.. Minor Lamination. worth? $2.00 - $4.00 The word is Zinc not Zink
