1942 d penny lamination error? 0

[Rogerreed]

Im curious if this would be a lamination error and if not what would it be classified as if it was done in the minting process?

Looks like it may be a stain as opposed to a Lamination.

A lamination is usually straight and you can see definite separation in the copper.

Its indented slightly where the feather looking area is and at the bottom of the coin it looks like it has a layer or something folded over and pressed to me ill take  better pictures

If you take pictures again please include the obverse - helps a lot to see both sides of the coin. From your pictures, there does appear to be an indentation between the two wheat stalks (those are the feather looking things) but as Greenstang said it's also possibly a stain or toning, and most lamination errors I've seen have those straight edges and clear separation he describes. Can't tell 3D from pictures! I can't see the layer folded over at the bottom of the coin.

To help manage expectations on this; the cent is heavily circulated and not worth much. It's much easier to conclude on errors when there's light or no circulation, and even if you can determine it's a lamination error the value won't go up due to the condition. Sometimes it's easier to just shrug your shoulders, mutter "huh, neat" and move on.
