Thanks Gorham collector for that article by Pete Apple. Very interesting but it does say zinc cents (CPV cents) are resistant to laminations, not free of them.
(Underlining is by me.) Maybe I'm interpreting it incorrectly.

".... This is believed to be a reason for the resistance of CPV cents to lamination. ...

There are other more minor differences between copper alloy and CPV cents which undoubtedly contribute to the CPV cent's resistance to lamination: .... "

The only thing that surprises me about zinc cents after 40 years and hundreds of billions of zinc cents produced is that aren't more planchet defects (before the plating) that show up.
