<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 7834999, member: 74863&quot;]Laminations cone in detached and attached. Some times the lamination cracks but that’s all. They are small and large and everything in between.</p><p><br /></p><p>You said it above but I hope this helps your understanding of them. If a lamination has four sides and three sides are loose, that means the fourth side is still attached. It’s made of metal so bend that fourth side enough and it will break off. In that case an attached lamination becomes a detached one.</p><p><br /></p><p>That is what I believe happened on the OP’s coin. If you look at the lower part of the area on the coin it looks as if it recently broke off. It was attached for many years but it recently broke free.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=111067]@expat[/USER] Can you please post your coin here to show what I just explained? Yours is not a US coin but the principle is the same. Thank you in advance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
