Maybe DID have a headache, sometime in 1971. Lamination error, was more common around this date period. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/02/2013 9:05 pm Lamination errors are the result of minor impurities in the blanking strip, which spread out within the strip when it is rolled to thickness. It's a bit like putting a soft blob of butter between two slices of bread, and rolling those together with a rolling pin. The butter spreads out between them. Lamination errors can express themselves in two ways: 1. Surface peeling, as you see here, and 2. Complete flan splitting, which in the worst cases, results in the coin splitting into halves, each half carrying a complete obverse or reverse design. Report this Post to the Staff
