    It's what I call a "white elephant'.

    The minor error vaue of a lamination
    is far exceeded by the value of the
    coin Unc.

    Most Lib. Nickel collectors would put
    a negative premium on it, but you
    might find one or two who would
    like to have such an animal in their
    collection just because it's 'different'.

    I don't think error collectors would
    pay a premium for it, as it's a fairly
    minor lamination.

    Ebay would be a good place to try it out.
