After the coin was struck a planchet impurity caused a large planchet piece to peel away (delaminate) over the reverse area near the rim from 3 o’clock to 5 o’clock. The piece remains attached to the coin but has moved away slightly. A desirable error with the piece still attached, especially so with a piece this large.
