1926 woody gone wrong?

I'm with Chris on this one. It is a lamination! I also don't think delamination comes into play here, unless the piece has detached! In the official guide to mint errors, there's no mention of delamination.

coinman2009, you are correct when it comes to numismatic slang...but when it comes to definition, all cents are laminations, when they start splitting or finish splitting, that is delamination. But I also know the numismatic community will not change because of an improper use of a word...it's been around too long Uncirculated is another of those terms that just don't match the definition, but we live with it.

I've been performing Ultrasonic inspections on welds, vessels, corrosion analysis, etc. (Phased Array, Shear Wave, and Compressional) for over 20 years, and "Delamination" is an industry accepted term for a linear separation of metal.

You won't find me inspecting pennies with any of the follwing methods I'm certified to perform as an ASNT Level 2 Inspector....
Ultrasound, Electromagnetic, Magnetic Particle, Liquid Penetrant, Industial Nuclear Radiography, Alternating Current Field Measurement, and IRATA Rope Access Level 2

Very cool job!

I'm a chemist in the metalworking fluids industry. Kenny is correct.... in the metals business the term used is delamination. I'm as guilty as any in using the term "lamination" as a noun. LOL It is generally accepted slang.

Maybe it depends on the dictionary used... Oxford English (Colour) or American English (Color)!!!

That would be spelling Jim...we're talking definition,and I'd bet it's the same,besides, we're collecting American coins

Lingo and jargon for technical terms within a field don't need to be propper- when a consensus can be reached and everyone is speaking the same language, why would it be necessary to reinvent what already works?

Hey, I agree in the old saying "If it ain't broke,don't fix it" but then I see coop using delamination too...I'm used to lamination,but if I had to give a reason for change, it would be the confusion it creates...after all, we're asking people to ignore the proper definition because we always have.

[KennyMac]

Laminate = Attach to or adhere to.

Delaminate = Separate or Disbond.

Have we finished beating this lamination issue to death yet? Is there anyone here who has no idea what we are talking about if we say the coin has a lamination error?
