Hello All, When I first saw this 1966 Philadelphia Dime, I thought that it was just dirt until I placed it under my coin microscope. The dime looks to be a lamination error, what do you guys think? Just wanted another set of eyes on it before I submit it for grading.

    1) save your money

    2) where do you see something that resembles a lamination?

    Take a look at the pealing of the Nickel that shows the copper. Not a crack like most lamination errors, but an obvious error with the striking of this coin. Right?

    Not worth the money for grading even if there were a lamination error.
    Are you thinking the line running down through the skull and into the ear and beyond is that?
    I’m more inclined to think it’s a scratch with dirt in it.

    Welcome to the forum! :)

    Not a lamination and not worth sending anywhere. :/
    It looks more like a metal detector find. ;)

    The peeling of any part of the surface of a coin is known as a lamination error. Right?

    No, not lamination. Even if it was it would only be worth face value.

    On threads like these, would it be helpful for me to post what a real error type looks like?

    I think he's talking about this.

    I see a corroded coin that was heavily cleaned.
