1945 P rev possible LAM?

[steveswood]

Would this be considered a lamination on the rev.?

I can't tell for sure. It gets fuzzy when I blow it up.

[mustbebob]

Yes. It does appear to be the beginnings of a lamination peel.

Thank you Bob! I wasn't sure either because I've never seen the beginnings of a lam! Steven, are you taking photos with your phone or a scope?

I scanned at 1200x1200 with a Brother scanner. I took a pic with my phone. Does it look better?

Yes, that is better, thank you! I was wondering if you were using your phone because I found a cool gadget the other day.... a macro lens for phones that's around $20. I haven't tried it yet because I don't use my phone, but here is the link to the thread http://www.lincolncentforum.com/foru...rd-Coin-Supply

Thanks, I was looking for that thread and link.

If you click on "Reply With Quote" on Steven's post #5 the smaller (regular size) version of the pic shows up under what he wrote. Then just click "Cancel" not sure why it does that but this also comes in handy if the poster has JPEG's and JPG's in their post. You can see the JPEG's before you download them... and sometimes you don't need to download.

Added: which just reminded me to delete the coin photos from my download folder... I try to keep my computer cleaner than my desk is

You're welcome! I figure at $20 it's worth a try, looks like it works pretty well from what I see in the description photo.

I concur with Bob.

Thank y'all for responding.
How does a lam like this affect the value of the coin?

[mustbebob]

In this case, it doesn't affect the value unless someone wants it enough to give you a little bit more than face value.

Nice lamination... The 2nd pic is better but still blurry... My first pics were with a brother scanner also... I did the resolution in 2400 x 2400 and scanned only the area I was interested in... That normally gave me the clearest pic!!!
