Just picked this up in my roll searching &Was wanting to know from the experts what there opinion on this 1945-S

War Nickel reverse, is it an mint error or some one did at home & is it worth anything as an error coin if genuine

It's a 'lamination flaw' part of the coin just peeled off the surface and broke off. Although this error was created while rolling out the stock for planchets, it is a common occurrence to the silver War Nickle era and actually not worth a premium. Sorry, keep searching. You did find about .90 in silver though!

The error is called "Lamination",

Thanks for your replies

And the lamination fell away after the coin was struck.

Blame manganese, a metal that does not play well with others...
