What is The Mint Error, Reverse Lamination, and does it add value to the coin?

Thanks again for your prompt reply.

I intend to submit this coin to NGC for conservation and grading. Should I check the checkbox for varieties, mint error, both or neither? NGC has charged me in the past for checking these boxes when the coin didn’t qualify. I don’t want to pay for nothing again. Please advise regarding this coin. Thank you.

Would this be considered a mint error?

Thank you for the quick response and education on doubling.

Here is a photo of the coin in question. I hope you can zoom in enough to see the doubling.

‘Specifically, I found an 1881 Indian Cent with heavy doubling of “UNITED STATES” on the obverse. I will continue to look for a SNOW number.

I find multiple Indian Cents with Variety attributes that are not included in the VarietyPlus listings. Does this mean that NGC will not acknowledge the variety attribute when grading the coin?

I wrote a detailed message on the “Newbie” forum. I was told that its a waste of time posting for help on that forum. I have posted for help on this forum in the past and a nice lady named Lisa helped me out.
