Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 11/02/2014 5:45 pm According to the CCF Glossary a lamination is: "A thin piece of metal that has nearly become detached from the surface of a coin. If this breaks off, an irregular hole or planchet flaw is left." The seller of this ebay listing calls the damage to his coin a "lamination" but it is clearly post mint damage, the remnants of a mount of some sort/ex-jewelry. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1842-Seated...em5412b2c735 Report this Post to the Staff

Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 11/02/2014 9:55 pm Just because, I sent this seller the definition of a lamination. IF I get a reply I will post it here but, I really do not expect one. Report this Post to the Staff

Scropper CCF Sponsor United States 702 Posts	Posted 11/03/2014 6:17 pm Ha! Yeah, that ain't lamination. And calling it such is an invitation to hurt your reputation. Drat. Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 11/04/2014 08:27 am I wonder whether he has trouble defining it. "Pieces of metal welded onto coin, then cut off. Picture says it all." , or "Lamination"? The coin looks real and the price is not unreasonable for the condition. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."
