1884 Liberty Head “V” Nickel – Lamination Error (Obverse & Reverse)

Offered here is an authentic 1884 Liberty Head nickel featuring a visible lamination (planchet flaw) that carries through from the obverse into the reverse — a more desirable form of lamination error compared to typical single-sided examples.

The lamination is clearly visible across the obverse field, running through the star area and into the portrait, with continuation evident on the reverse. This indicates a through-planchet defect formed prior to striking, not post-mint damage.
