The temptation to peel it like an orange...

Pretty dramatic lamination. How did this even stay together. What kind of premium exists on a coin like this.

    That's a very nice lamination.

    On eBay, I would expect this to sell for $5-10. Normally, laminations don't carry a lot of premium.

    IMO, I like how dramatic this is... but I don't think it'll look as nice if you peeled it off!

    Considering the wear & dirt in the cracks, I'm amazed the lamination didn't peel off years ago... decades ago!
