<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dcarr, post: 2937737, member: 4781&quot;]Yes, peeling delaminations often have contaminants underneath them and that is the reason they were not bonded to the rest of it and delaminated in the first place.</p><p><br /></p><p>But imagine a sliver of clean pure silver that falls on a larger sheet of silver going through a rolling mill. Now that sliver of silver is loosely embedded in the silver sheet. When a planchet is punched from that sheet and then struck, the sliver is still there struck into the coin. Over time with handling and/or thermal expansion and contraction of the coin, the sliver can come loose and fall out. The striking of the coin did not in any way fuse the sliver to the rest of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
