1914-S Buffalo Nickel lamination error..?

Good morning to all!
I came across this 1914-S Buffalo Nickel.
I believe it's a lamination...? The metal is bent and folded over where it was struck and some stray pieces are forced into the coin.
Just curious if this adds or detracts from the value, and what grade it might be or what it may be worth.
Cheers and thank you again ladies and gents. Hope you're enjoying your Saturday morning!

Good Morning to you too. To me, that looks PMD (Post Mint Damage). It looks pretty cool, actually. I'm no expert but I think it would take away from it's value? When I first glanced at it I thought it was similar to that one I seen on the forum slabbed by our Host. In which is truly valued more because of its appearance. I think crazyhounddog , (Joe) had in his collection?

How do I search for the one that you speak of?
I took a break from the coin game 1990-2013, so I'm kind of rusty. Boy I wish we had Google when I was a kid.
Looks like the one I have..And it's lamination.
Yeah, I'm trying to find it for 'ya. Yes, PCGS is the best worldwide, hands down! If you're going to slab it, make it PCGS.
I'm pretty sure the coin I'm talking about is a double strike Buffalo in the PCGS Holder?

Fixed the autocorrect thanks for pointing that out (lamentation lol).
I've got another one on an 1883 nickel, from 11:00-5:00, and a really nice MS red-brown wheat cent. I remember them being really popular in new England in the late 80s early 90s. They were everywhere, but for moon money.
Sorry, I deleted the picture from my HD.
Bacon eggs pancakes and coffee are ready. I hope you all have a fantastic day. Thank you again for this great forum PCGS.
Classic example of lamination and it looks like it is still peeling.

yeah what he said.
It looks like a lamination to me. It is very unattractive and the lamination probably greatly cuts the value of the coin unless you can find a "live one" who thinks such defects are cool and is willing to pay a premium.
For sure a lamination. And a nice one it is.
Yes, it is a lamination for sure.
I do believe that is lamination. A larger image would help. Back in the day the mint was purchasing the nickel alloy from outside vendors and the recipe was not correct or they just did a bad job. At any rate the planchets were plagued with this problem of lamination. This can also be seen by the streaking on many buffalo nickels from the early years.
Here's a 16-s Buff with the same problem.
I agree with the lamination verdict.... it is a significant example though... quite prominent. Cheers, RickO
