<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 4904123, member: 19165&quot;]Short answer: it depends.</p><p><br /></p><p>Long answer: There are a lot of variables that go into this. While a lamination is technically a mint error, many TPGs don&#039;t label minor laminations. A minor lamination in a less focal area is fairly neutral; a minor lamination in a focal area is often considered a negative. A major lamination (large enough to be designated as a major mint error) can bring a premium for the error.</p><p><br /></p><p>And, as with everything, some people like them and some people hate them. It&#039;s all down to what you like. I personally don&#039;t like them, so I avoid them. However, I do own a couple of coins with minor planchet flaws - the rest of the coin is special enough that I&#039;m willing to overlook the lamination.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, in order to give you a good answer, we&#039;d need to see pictures of the coin in question.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
