<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 534330, member: 1242&quot;]Atv02,</p><p><br /></p><p>Look at the patches to the Northeast of the dome on Monticello on your&#039; nickel. Those are minor lamination errors! Due to a bad mixture of the alloy (composition) that the planchets are made of or due to air bubbles that develop inside the planchet stock when it is produced, sometimes a portion of the surface of the coin separates from the core of the planchet. Some of these show only minor defects where small patches (areas) or thin cracks develop on the surface of the coin but sometimes the defects are more major with obvious cracks, peels or even craters on the surface of the coin which may or may not extend well into the depths of the planchet or coin. When cracks or areas develop on the surface of the coin but have not separated from the coin, these are referred to as Lamination Errors. When the more major cracks, areas or craters develop on the surface of the coin and have separated from the coin, then these are referred to as&nbsp;&nbsp; De-Lamination Errors.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
