Yes it's an error, very minor though. The reverse has multiple de-laminations (look that term up) and is worth very, very little.

@Tiamarielacore253 ...Welcome aboard. Excellent picture... if you have a question about the coin, you should specify it along with the picture. As gonzer has said, it does have delaminations on the reverse - not a valuable issue. Enjoy the forum... Cheers, RickO

!946 was the first year the production went back to the normal composition (sans the war time silver composition) where the mint marks were once again placed next to the Monticello building. You example has none, so that represents Philadelphia with other mints represented by a letter D & S . The example you show has laminations that were created in rolling out the stock to a specific thickness and are quite common for this era.

As previous posters have said, this type of issue is quite common on postwar nickels.
No premium.

Thanks for sharing and keep looking. Sounds like your on the right track. Put that in a 2x2 and mark it as lamination on reverse. Always good to have an education box.

Keep going. I like to take about 20-30 minutes a day to read up on something. Keep a good red book or other publications at hand. Each coin type and even years have things special just about those coins. I started with Morgan Dollars.

Welcome, tiamarielacore. WoodenJefferson gave a great response with useful information. No idea why giantsfan20 gave you a disagree. Really lame. For some reason he seems to have declared himself the new forum nanny.

Stick around. Have fun. Learn. After a while you'll learn who deserves respect and whom to ignore.

There is a saying, "Buy the book before the coin". I predict boredom and/or frustration very quickly if you follow the path of recent posters with a series of "How about this one?" questions.

If you're interested in errors, I might suggest The Official Price Guide to Mint Errors by Alan Herbert. There are other good books (and some bad ones) out there if you want to choose a different one. If you prefer a different subject, then say what you're looking for and I bet you'll get some recommendations very quickly.

The perks of coin collecting are in doing what you enjoy. It is possible to make money collecting coins... but very, very difficult. I don't think you'll find many people who recommend that you start collecting coins for any reason other than the enjoyment you get from doing it.
