Metzger22 Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 5:26 pm Well, while roll searching I came across a 1946 with what I believe is lam error. I also found a War Nickel with lamination error as well. I've heard that it was common for War Nickels to have this error due to poor mixing of alloys. So what do you guys think? Is this PMD or actual lam error? Report this Post to the Staff

Metzger22 Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 6:32 pm This is the first time I've heard the term "post strike lam". So does this mean there are different types of lamination errors? Sorry for the ignorance. I'm still learning. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 6:39 pm Yes, 2, maybe more, types of lamination errors. pre strike and post strike. Pre strike is when the metal peels and either folds or falls off before the design is punched in, post is after the strike, the coin starts peeling. Nice post lam you have here. Btw some lams are a combination of post and pre. Report this Post to the Staff

Notice the details are complete on part of the lamination and missing from the second part of the lamination? https://goccf.com/t/224415 Edited by BlueSolo 04/16/2015 6:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 9:28 pm I think that's a pretty relevant link for this thread, and Metzger22 can post in your thread if he pleases, thank you very much. The difference between a prestrike lamination and a poststrike lamination amounts only to when the stuff felt like coming loose. Report this Post to the Staff
