Are Delaminated coins gradable?

jesbroken

I have several Buffalo Nickels that have delaminations and wonder if they are gradable or not by PCGS or NGC. Here are a couple of them.

Yes, PCGS will slab/grade them, if you submit them under
the Mint Error tier.

However, most laminations are not worth the slabbing fees, imo.

Thanks Fred. I didn't know that they would or not. I have no plans to slab any of mine at this time, but might send in the 15S when I complete my type set. I placed these in my final and third Buffalo Nickel set, which completed the set.

I've had a lamination error rejected by pcgs, for fear of the lamination falling off. NGC graded it no problem. Have things changed?

Maybe it's just if it is peeling, or appears to be weak. Here is a link I found from pcgs:

Yes. It was a $2 1/2 Indian with peeling lamination.

Don't recall that specific coin, but
yes, it should have gone in a Mint
Error holder.......don't know why not.

Odd. Oh well, I've already sold itin the ngc holder, lol. It came back from yall in a plastic flip that labeled it as a peeling lamination, but said no grade.

Thanks, jwitten. I'll know to use NGC for that specific an item.
