    Be careful! The delamination police might confiscate that!

    If you any of you have an accumulation of 1943 Steel cents or 1942-5 Wartime nickels you stand a good chance of finding a piece with a lamination. Laminations are fairly common on those coins, especially the nickels.

    Dumb rookie question- are laminations good things from a value perspective, or a negative?

    Is it considered a cool error, or "damaged"?

    I've got a 1918-D Buffalo with a lamination on the reverse, I'd just like to know whether to love it or hate it.

    Thanks.

    Minor laminations are very common and don't add to the value of the coin and may distract.

    Major eye appealing lamination errors do carry a premium.

    true they add little to the coin but to me they make the coin interesting to own, despite being common they are still a neat error to own

    Thanks, I like it, I guess at the end of the day that's what counts.

    I just have to be careful with my Dansco when I pull out the plastic insert, otherwise it "hangs" on the lamination.

    I was looking thru some minor errors and noticed that several Lincolns with laminations also seemed to have the woodgrain effect and the grain seems to go in the same direction as the lamination! I remembered this thread and I see that two of the war nickels previously shown here seem to have the same thing going on.
    Is the wood grain effect possibly from when they rolled the metal stock there were impurities and/or bubbles in the metal? Maybe this is what causes the wood grain as the metal is compressed?

    The woodgrain effect is caused by metal ingots with small, localized concentrations of alloy (zinc and/or tin in the case of bronze) that cause areas of the bronze to appear brassy being rolled out and elongated. These concentrations are caused by the zinc and/or tin not being properly diffused into the copper base. I believe that this was caused by the mixture not being heated hot enough.

    If the alloying materials are really poorly mixed, when they get rolled out they could cause cracks in the metal that express themselves as laminations.

    Here's a lamination line shaped like a U on the obverse of a 1960 Type B Reverse quarter.

    I forgot to mention that there are also lamination lines on the reverse of the 1960
    Type B Reverse quarter above the R in QUARTER and above the arrowheads running across
    the left wing.
