Two new error purchases - lower grades but neat

Here are two errors I purchased recently.
The lamination was a recent Ebay win from jjcoins and the rotated reverse 2 cent coin is a purchase from the shop last saturday.
I believe the 2 cent coins are fairly common with rotated reverses - this one is 180 degrees, does that add any value?
The lamination is the largest I have owned on a silver coin - perhaps others have larger ones that they can post? I would love to own a nice huge lamination on a Seated dollar!

Yes extremely common and most all have a full 180 degree rotation... No extra value.

PerryHall....That is a seated Quarter, not a seated dollar.
Neat error regardless!!

Sorry about that. Also, now that I take another look at it, I think it's off center closer to 10%.

I see no off centering on that quarter

I see no off centering on that quarter
Is the rim normally that wide? Maybe it was broadstruck. Hard to tell from that pic. Neat coin in any event.

I think that the lamination occured before the planchet was fed into the press so the area of weakness you are seeing is because of this. Sean, does that make sense to you? Also, on the reverse in the lamination area itself - I may be seeing things but I think I see some design?
How many people handled the quarter. And how many didn't even notice the error. Or noticed it and passed it on. It circulated a long, long time before someone plucked it from circulation.
Although very common, I wonder how many noticed the 2C was rotated before it was plucked.
