Dearborn Moderator United States 96674 Posts	Posted 04/02/2021 4:58 pm It looks like the coin took a hit from the southwest, pushing the metal up to the northwest. creating a small laminate peal Collecting since 1972.

sale4coin Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 04/02/2021 5:43 pm In my own words: PSD = Post Strike Damage, hence not made in the mint process. Lamination Peel = An impurity in the metal of the coin which creates flake like appeal. So this particular coin, is both can anyone explain this to me some more for better knowledge? Can it be safe to say this coin has PSD which caused an artificial lamination peel, hence face value. Any help would be appreciated. I am still learning. Thank You Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 04/02/2021 7:32 pm I thing so that Merclover explain you well. Me I will explain you the terms: Lamination = union of two surfaces by different processes (press, heat, glue etc.) Delamination = apply only to alloys Exfoliation = reverse of lamination, separation of the surfaces precedent laminated. Your coin is clad which ask for exfoliation which is not this case. the others can explain better them the symptoms of striking or PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/02/2021 7:37 pm It could be a piece of cladding that fell off another coin. But it probably on the surface of the coin. We see that from time to time. Report this Post to the Staff
