    Error Lamination | 1939 P Ugly Woody with nice reverse LAM.

    Just ran across this beat up wheat and thought it was kind of neat. Not a pretty woody, in my opinion but a nice double LAM on the reverse. There is a rim to rim going through CENT and smaller one over STATES.

    Thanks for looking, Jon.

    That is a neat wheat woody Jon and a really cool lamination on the reverse! Very nice find! It looks aged with distinction!

      Nice example Jon.

      Did you notice the area at the base of the bust to the right of the shoulder?
      Seems like you can actually tell how deep the improperly mixed metal goes on the obverse. Look where the "streaky" top layer is worn away to reveal the consistent, nice even brown color below.

        Thanks Viv!! "Aged with distinction", that's a nice way to say ugly!

            Cool looking coin... It has beauty in its own way... Did you notice the last S in STATES??? The lamination has displaced giving the appearance of a DD... Cool!!!
