VestigeWolf Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 10/17/2021 12:32 pm Thanks. I don't think it's lamination. It is silver in color and I just can't seem tp photograph the color. Here are a couple more shots that seem to show some difference. Edited by VestigeWolf 10/17/2021 12:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/17/2021 1:10 pm Looks more like a lamination issue to me. Why? Because of the ghost image of what peeled off the coin weakening the devices. Edited by coop 10/17/2021 1:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34458 Posts	Posted 10/17/2021 3:23 pm @vest, perhaps incomplete mixing of the alloy is what both caused the lam and the slight color differential.
