It is a more common occurrence on bronze and nickel alloy coinage but is still seen occasionally on silver as well. Large delaminations(separated peel) can be collectible as errors but small ones just typically "ugly-up" a coin and in the case of high grade or key coins, can actually devalue a coin a bit.

RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 10/08/2012 1:48 pm Thanks biokemist6 for the fast reply. I saved it from my "junk silver" scrap pile. I guess it's worth hanging on to it, no real value but good for an example of lamination. Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff

Make a note about the lamination error on the flip or whatever you decide to store it in. biokemist6 I always learn something from you! Thanks. (I didn't even have a guess on this one.)
