Does this look like a lamination problem? There's no damage to the rim other than what you can see extending to the rim in these shots. It sure circulated a lot.

Kinda looks like a lam. The planchet looks flawed to me.

The alignment of the metal does not appear to have changed since it was struck. Accordingly, it would have to be something in the planchet that was flawed at the time of striking. The crack could have appeared post strike due to failure of the metal. Technically, wouldn't that be a delamination?

There was an impurity in the metal when it was rolled from the ingot and was contained in this planchet. The impurity either expanded at a different rate than the silver alloy or the heat/trauma from the strike itself released gas or allowed atmosphere exposure. Most people would consider it a delamination..
