It is generally believed that lamination errors are caused by contaminants in the alloy that cause the metal to separate along the horizontal plane.


Above is a quote from the link below explaining how lamination errors happen:

They are quite common on the Wheat cent series. Finding a nice example can bring a modest premium. Nice find .
