I'm with Denis on this one. Very nice lamination peel that has travelled to the "4" to partially cover the didget. Herbert indicates common causes are gas or improper alloy mix. Obviously bigger is better and condition is important for viewing. I recenly found an 1859 large cent with lamination flaws on both the obverse and reverse. Although not as dramatic as this coin, it was interesting to note part of the reverse rim had broken away to partially cover one of the leaves. ----- Original Message ----- From: Fenix To: cndcoinerrs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2006 4:48 PM Subject: [CEVNA]: 1943 lamination? help. Hi Everyone I am including images of a 1943 5c with what I believe to be a lamination error. What I need help with is how. I believe it is authentic and I initially thought I knew what I was looking at, but after thinking about it a little while I may have centipede'd my self. I would explain further but I don't want to influence the responses. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Henry
