<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 7835841, member: 4920&quot;]The lamination is due to a weak area on the planchet. That could be the result of any number of things, from impurities in the composition to just a bad mixing of the metals. For whatever the reason, the area isn’t where we need it to be able to take the strike; rather, it’s brittle there. The strike literally lifts it right off. Our vernacular for that event is, “peel.” But it’s the beginning and end of it. There’s no evolution, these don’t grow. At times the pieces hang on, and sometimes they don’t, as seen in some of these pictures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
