coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 02/17/2011 12:24 pm A little sematics here, but it does make a difference... A coin with the metal still attached is called a "lamination peel" - especially if the left over metal has become a hanging fragment...like a hang-nail. A coin with the metal detached is called "delaminated" - meaning that the laminated piece has left the building and is no longer on the coin. The former is usually more desired and is worth a little more to many collectors - not that either of them are rare or worth much to begin with. Anyhow, you have a lamination peel.
