If it had peeled off before the strike, the strike would have flattened it to the point that it would be almost unnoticeable. They can be thin enough that devices inside the peel can retain their shape. Report this Post to the Staff

I believe technically that's a "delamination" - meaning the piece that was not stuck to the coin is now gone. A lamination peel is where the piece is still stuck to the coin but is peeled back.
