I haven't seen lamination flaws on anything newer. I tended to find them generally on coins prior to the mid-80's. Have a look: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Circulated-...em4165c62eb9 What do you think? The only think that makes it look like a lamination flaw is the crack backs on the rim (which can still be done quite easily with a stanley knife). But so straight? Hmm... Poll Choices This is a lamination flaw This is a fake I'm not sure Report this Post to the Staff

Australian coin Pillar of the Community Australia 1244 Posts	Posted 05/14/2012 9:46 pm I would think its real; it seems to have a peeled affect going on. Tho it does seem unusual to have an earlier coin with this appearing, it may just have had a more circulated life or strains put on it to bring the flaw to the surface. You certainly would not see lamination on an uncirculated coin or specimen coin. Report this Post to the Staff
