Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 04/12/2020 8:20 pm While "delamination" would be a better description of this flaw, "lamination" is the accepted term. From Error-Ref.com Quote: Lamination Cracks Definition: Lamination errors are planchet errors in which the surface of a coin cracks and flakes. It is generally believed that lamination errors are caused by contaminants in the alloy that cause the metal to separate along the horizontal plane. Lamination errors can develop before or after the strike. They are generally restricted to solid-alloy coins. The term "lamination error" is grammatically incorrect as the metal is actually delaminating. While "delamination error" would be the proper term, we're stuck with the terminology we've inherited from previous researchers.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/13/2020 3:18 pm I see two issues with lamination on the obverse. The obvious and the area in 'ER' on Liberty. Report this Post to the Staff
