enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 08/20/2012 07:13 am Its called lamination or metal peel. Fairly common on 2c coins IMO however yours is much larger than normal. It might be worth a couple bucks. Report this Post to the Staff
appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 08/20/2012 07:17 am It's a flaw in the metal,maybe some foreign material in the planchet when it was made & the pieces fall out or it peels like Enworb said. Edited by appleangel07 08/20/2012 07:40 am Report this Post to the Staff
