Looked more closely and this 1886-P PCGS MS-64 neck and chin looks like acid attack on face.
Is this lamination basically worthless and someone just nastily dumped this one on me without me noticing on time. :'(

Why PCGS did not Details grade this one ? Instead gave a clear free MS-64 ?

    someone will want it as it is a big enough error, on a unc morgan no less.

    There are certainly collectors out there who will want it. I am one of those. I don't think it will bring a premium, but I don't think it should sell at a discount either. It won't sell as fast, because you will have to wait for the right collector to come along.

    Yes. It is still visible to naked eye. Better look out so I would not get burned again.
    I'm not a VAM collector and to me it is a fault and takes away coin's visual appeal.
    The material surface is cracked.

    I agree with ricko, this looks like a strike through. With planchet impurities and laminations, I would expect some visible grain texture underneath the exposed surface. Morgan dollar errors are collectable because errors are far and few between with that particular series. I don't think you will have much of a problem selling it if you listed it for a decent amount of time.
