Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 03/30/2018 6:16 pm Just wanting opinions if I should save these as Lamination errors or just PMD? Middle picture of the reverse is a 1940-S Edited by Mark1959 03/30/2018 6:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 03/30/2018 7:09 pm Boy, those look tricky to me Mark. Lamination, struck through or hits pushing up the metal? Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74584 Posts	Posted 03/30/2018 7:10 pm That's a hard one Mark, but I think they're all Lamination errors. I can see that cracked and flaky appearance that Laminations have. I am pretty sure you have scored 3 Laminations. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 03/30/2018 7:21 pm Thanks for the info all, guess I'll give them an acetone soak then put in 2x2's and mark them as Lamination errors. BUT, is lamination really an error or just "stuff" that happens to the blank stock while it is getting rolled to the correct thikness? Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74584 Posts	Posted 03/30/2018 7:24 pm Mark, some people say that Laminations are more of a Planchet flaw than an error. More of an imperfection than anything else. These Laminations are still keepers. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 03/30/2018 7:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 03/30/2018 7:28 pm Thanks David, I've got some more that are really obvious! I try posting all my errors before I put them in 2X2's Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/30/2018 7:42 pm Davids right, a lamination is caused by a problem of production. The stock plate not mixed, or cooled right, the rolling just forces metal which has too much air, impurity, or moisture to not mold together. The planchet is either flawed prior to strike or shows up as a separated lamination post strike where material has come off. Your reverse strike looks to be a prestrike lam, the others post strike. Remember, post strike takes into account the strike caused lam like #3! Edited by Crazyb0 03/30/2018 7:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
