Lamination Obverse and Reverse Liberty Nickel

1887 5C --Laminated Planchet Obverse and Reverse--MS61 PCGS. This is a spectacular planchet lamination, on a diagonal from the fifth star down through Liberty's head and neck to the final date digit. Just left of this diagonal, the metal has lifted up and is almost completely detached and is joined to the balance of the coin only at the lower left. The reverse has heavy lamination as well, from the center to the border at 12:30. Fully mint state with light nickel gray luster. Although the words wonderful and lamination can be mutually exclusive, this example truly is a wonderful lamination error.
From The Mark Hayfield Collection of Mint Errors.(#3848) (Registry values: N208)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22PL, PCGS# 3848, GSID# 2952)
