Lamination

An error coin that is classified as a lamination error will have a small portion of the coin peeled away from the surface. It is kind of the opposite of the lamination of say your driver's license, where a thin a film of plastic is used to cover the internal parts, in order to protect them. In this case a small portion of that external layer has been peeled away.

This happens when a foreign substance gets trapped between the coins internal layers. If you want to add a lamination coin to your collection, coins that have the entire face or back missing are worth the most.
