    I did not say the term are incorrect, I was just saying they are sometimes used incorrectly. As in misnomers.
    Please forgive me if my understanding of the conversation of the post was in some way different than yours..

    What is funny is that you avoid the truth. Are you just pretending to be stupid or what!

    Lamination Is a attribute that an object can have. It does not have to have two different types of material to be considered a Laminate.(like plywood)
    Delamination describe an action that has been done to a Lamination.

    This is a delaminated error coin, or as Error-ref.com calls it a 'loss after strike'.

    :yawn: Actually, I think the OP's question was answered and than a member threw a wrench into the machinery that needed to be fixed. While an attempt was being made to "fix" things, another member threw acid into the eyes of the mechanic. o_O

    Delamination is a mode of failure where a material fractures into layers. Processing can create layers in materials such as coin planchets formed by rolling due to things like impurities.

    So "delamination" appears to be the correct term for a split surface layer on a coin whether it is still attached or broken away leaving a void.

    Nevertheless, "lamination" (the split is still apart of the coin) and "delamination" (a part of the lamination [delamination ;)] is broken away) are solidly ingrained numismatic terms. :jawdrop::facepalm: I will continue to use those two incorrect terms out of habit.

    There was a patch of black impurities rolled inside the planchet of this coin causing its surface to eventually delaminate. The rough area inside the void shows the impression made by the impurities.
