This is a lamination peel, typical of what you see in coins struck in 100% nickel. Peels like this tend to have a U-shaped cross section, with a ragged appearance in the bottom of the trough. Elements of the strike, through the flow of metal, can be seen in some areas where the peel is thin enough. Unlike strike through coins, the edges can be quite ragged, and they generally stop at the rim.

t_y Pillar of the Community Canada 632 Posts	Posted 12/24/2012 12:59 am SPP, if this is indeed a Delaminated planchet (after all, it is not a retained lamination) how you get the stamping inside the area where material is missing? The image of the die must be transferred somehow - it is through something: a piece of planchet or a foreign material, solid or liquid. ... But this is just my opinion after a (very good) bottle of wine. Report this Post to the Staff

Think of Zonad's clamshell 1956 1-cent, with the entire planchet splitting after the strike, that is the ultimate lamination peel: https://goccf.com/t/76634&whichpage=3 "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 12/24/2012 01:20 am I was kinda wondering the same thing.It must have been struck with the lamination still in place in order for the design elements to appear.It's struck through lamination. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
