Error Lamination | 1942-P Obv/Rev lamination!!!

[mindtab]

I assume it's a feeder finger. And from what I've been reading, that during these times they showed up 'single'.

And what seems like a post damage dent on the obv., back of the head. Cute dent.

I'm hesitant to say anything since I'm still learning too, but I'd be more inclined to call it a lamination error. Very good pics of it, too!

Rowdy, thanks. I'm a newbie too. I was also thinking something ran over it and dragged it.

[Rowdyricster]

I dont know about you, but I'm having a blast. I'm eager (and a little apprehensive ) to hear what the pro's say.

[mindtab]

Me too, Rowdy. Both.

[enamel7]

It is definitely a lamination error. Nice find!

[mindtab]

Thanks, enamel. Rowdy hit it on the spot, too. I have yet to learn.

Very nice LAMs, you have the heavy one through the center and a lighter one just north running the same direction! They don't always do it but this one carried through to the obverse, that's what you see at the tie. The head shot is just that, Abe took a hit!

Very nice job on the attribution Rowdy!!

Good call. Side note. Feeder finger damage on wheats was vertical as opposed NW-SE line we see on memorials. I don't know exactly when the mechanical change occurred.

Nice looking LAMs Camelia! Your photos are looking really good, but your cent looks too cleaned. Are you using something besides acetone?

Way to go Rowdy! You are at the stage where you know more than you think you know... pretty soon you will be answering with confidence!

Thanks Viv. No, I didn't even wash it with water. It's how it came out the roll.
I haven't used acetone but one time, right after I bought it. Eventually, if I need to.

You're welcome Camelia! Here are my thoughts... what people want to do to their coins as far as cleaning is their own business, it's their collection. But, anything other than what we know is safe (acetone and VerdiCare) is not recommended. This is especially important for new members because they might have a valuable cent and not know it... if they have already cleaned the coin some other way it could cause them problems if sent it to be graded and slabbed.

I agree. I can't be responsible for what other people do to coins (and in this short time, I've seen all kinds of damage); ultimately though, now it's your coin once you find it.
Sometimes I look at badly damaged coins and just hope to God that it's NOT a valuable find. I guess my heart WOULD skip a beat then.

I do love verdi-care, but I use it sparingly (kindda expensive).

Yep, I think the same thing when I see badly damaged coins... but unless it's damaged to the point where I can't tell what the date is, I still look at it if it's a date with known doubling because an ugly one might be the only one I ever find

[mindtab]

I look at all of them, except the 'Langolier' ones (I don't know if you've seen the movie 'The Langoliers' from Stephen King's novel).
In similar fashion, like some cars I see in the parking lot ---the bottom edges of the car eaten out by rust with holes in them. I call them Langolier cars. Haha
