As I understand it, a lamination error is when one layer of the metal breaks off or partially off. Sometimes these look like the coin was peeled back but the peel not totally removed. Other members, have I got it right?
I don't think that these command much of a premium; again, what do the rest of y'all say?
Most of the so-called "Lamination Errors" that I've seen advertised on Ebay are nothing more than scuff marks made by the rolling machine as it rolled down the end of the paper coin tube.
Once I get my new camera I'll post pics of true Lams and I also have an old silver nickel with a true piece of broken die imbedded in it.

I have this type of error on the reverse of an AU 1928 lincoln cent that resides in my Dansco 7070 album. I guess it would be termed a planchet error because of the lack of layers that are present in clad coinage. I'll try to post a picture tonight. Is there any premium for this type of error in the classic coins?

The coin in that particular auction is not a Lamination Error. Its more of a Quality Control problem which, given the quantity of State Quarters produced each year, is quite common.
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

You have a "strike-through" error, not a lamination error. There was some obstructing matter on the die face that left a shallow, roughened depression on the coin. These are sometimes called "grease strikes", although the nature, texture, and origin of the substance varies.
