1946 LWC Lamination Or Delamination ?

Must be a new type, I'm used to cutting my coins into 8th like a pizza, not peeling them like an orange.

Guess it doesn't matter much, they all taste the same...

I was hoping to see a pix of the back side of the delam piece....Please...

Thanks for the second one Jasper2 (in "medallion" orientation view). It is much clearer and shows some folded over metal where the date would be.
Very interesting.

Doesn't seem possible but I wonder if that could actually be a shell casing?

Also why they happen. Because the metal is rolled out and flattened to get the correct thickness, metal pieces get rolled into the stock metal. When this happens it creates a weakness on other side of the stock material. (Kind of like rolling dough to make noodles. When roll the dough to flatten the dough, what happens when something is rolled into the dough? It can be removed, but leave an imprint of what was rolled into the dough. So when this happens on metal like copper/steel or silver, during the cutting of the blanks or during the upset process, this can loosen the rolled in substance. (Metal flakes or loose metal rolled into the metal) This can be loosened can before and fall out before the strike or this can be loosened after the strike falling out, or retained on the coins.
