    Does anyone (maybe @Insider ) know what the "laminated" designation means on this war nickel?
    When I think of laminations, I think of a piece of metal being peeled off (delamination) but I'm not seeing anything clear on this coin. Am I just missing it?

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    Look just behind the bow in his hair, slightly to the left of the date.

    It is incredibly minor, and I'd hardly care to even mention it, but that's where it is.

    This one is more technically called a "retained lamination" as the piece of metal has not actually been removed, just flaked.

    I'm comparing to photos of PCGS TrueViews and I'm still not seeing a difference.

    I don't see a lamination, maybe it is on the rim.

    I am responding just to see if anyone finds the lamination.
    I am seeing a slight line running from Jeffs forehead to the ST.
    All I see near the ribbon in some odd looking luster and MD on the back of the head. Could be the place of the lamination

    It is so minor it is invisible.

    Cheek, mandible and 9:00, maybe. Make that 8:50.

    Maybe its the lighting, at an odd angle. I might just be imagining things ;)
