    Error Lamination | 1947-S with a possible lamination error on the obverse???

    I found this 1947-S in a customer roll last night. I'm guessing it's a lamination error, but once again, I need the help of the experts here. Thanks.

    Yes, that is definitely a lamination error.

              Here is your pic with pointers... I did the best I could as the pic is washed out a bit... The black arrows point to what appears to be edges of laminations, the blue arrow looks like it may be a spike and the white arrow looks like it could be a struck thru??? It doesn't look like the die was worn enough or worked to the point that the jacket would be missing so much detail on the SE edge/corner??? Thanks for letting me take a closer look!!!

                I guess I'm just getting lucky finding stuff. I'll go for weeks and find nothing, then I'll find two or three in the same week.

                  Very nice analysis. Way beyond my capabilities. Please feel free to copy any of my posts in the future.

                    Well, I can tell from past posts and conversations, that you search huge numbers too, that doesn't hurt your odds.

                      Yes I do. In the winter I can go through 5000 pennies or more a week. Once it gets warm outside, I spend most of my time in my vegetable gardens. I grow hundreds of plants each year and give most of the stuff away. Last year I had 50 tomato plants and I don't even eat them!

                        Very cool, couple bricks a week! That is fantastic gardening you do and really nice you hook up folks in your area! You do much, much more than we do but because our gardening is so limited on space, we tend to coddle the plants we do have and in turn, get really nice plants and veggies (pic below). They usually get above the gutter, about 10' tall.
