Check out this Lamination error I found. Ive found quite a few lamination errors but this is the only one where the piece that should be missing, isnt missing. When I found this one, the piece that should have been missing was still attached and only hanging on by a thread. Anyhow, I stuck it in this 2x2 to make sure it stays safe. Its dated 1963D and its seen its share of circulation. Im surprised this piece didnt fall off while the coin was circulating. If you notice in the pics, the piece that is peeling off is all of the N and most of the U. But notice the line below the U, thats the spot where its still attached, but it is paper thin there. And if I remember correctly, the piece that has peeled off, is rather thick. So, the lamination error is pretty deep into the coin. Anyhow, I think its a cool coin and I had to show it off and see what everyone else thinks. Has anyone else seen the likes??? http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd202/DJP7x0s/63DLamRev.jpg http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd202/DJP7x0s/63DLamRev2.jpg
DJP, You're right, that is a pretty cool error you have found. I've yet to see one myself, where the piece is still attached. Nice find.
:thumb: i have never seen one in circulation either. some here and there with the pieces missing, but ive never seen one with the piece still there. you find this in circulation?
I found this in my grandmothers can. She got this coin from circulation and threw it in the can. When I asked to look through her change, she sent me home with 4.5, 5 gallon buckets of Lincolns.
Is that a piece of THAT coin, or is it a piece that come off of another being struck through onto that planchet ?
It is without doubt a piece of the same coin. Its quite thick too, I remember looking between the coin and the piece when I found it and noticed how deep the error is. And well, its a perfect fit. If I apply pressure to the coin, the piece fits nicely into the coin and flushes up to the rest of the coin.
