    Bad planchet, material separated a little looks like a crack but it 's not.

    Can someone remind me if lamination errors add any value?
    Thanks.

    A coin like that is worth a buck or two
    to an interested buyer.

    Pretty soon "Wheatback" will be considered a derogatory term.

    :(

    There's your humor! Lol.

    Lamination flaws are interesting and wheaties are a great place to find them. Good one to add to your error binder. The hunt continues. Peace Roy

    Interesting delamination.... Certainly worth keeping as a classic example of the issue. Cheers, RickO
