Yeppers, they're not to0 hard to find, when they use the dies too long, they get pretty nice. Glad you like it, thanks for the comments. Now what did I do with that Lamination error I was going to post?
Edit: I'm new here. I couldn't find my last reply here, so I wrote this one. Pardon me please.

This is a Lamination error. In the pre-1982 cents they were thought to occur due to an Improper Alloy Mix. For those that may not know, that means the alloy used to make these coins was either under mixed, disproportionate, or contained impurities. The error can be found on one or both sides of a coin, and varies in size. It's usually identified by having at least one straight side and jagged sides with a flaking or peeling appearance. In many regards it's similar to a Woody. but more severe (That gives me an idea for the next error). Anyway, this is a 1929 Lincoln with a strong Lam that actually goes all the way through the coin. I hope you like it.

This is a 1944-S Rim to Rim Peeled Lamination with devices.

This is a Retained Peel. The Lamination peeled and folded over toward the rim.

If you can find Wheat cents you can find these. It's getting harder to find Wheats in change, but every other coin I've posted here came from change or rolls from the bank.
There are many types of error coins, should I post more?

Nice examples. It is neat when they go through the coin and are visible on both sides. Don't find those very often.
By all means post some more.

That nickel is pretty severe.
And that 1944 LWC looks like it might be CC 1944P-1DO-004 with the thickness on the lower part of the 9. Then again it could be damage from circulation or my visual orbs.

I think I still have the 44' will look at that, didn't seem DDO but I wasn't really paying attention to anything but the lamination.
