I know I'm probably the only one that believes this, but I feel the upset process that creates the rim on the coin turning a blank into a planchet, is what I feel is the cause of the laminations separating. (mainly on solid planchet coins) I've noticed on a lot of coin with a lamination they tend to start peeling after this event takes place.
