What does the reverse look like? The reverse is completely normal It is not attracted to a magnet. I'll check the weight tomorrow at work. Thanks for all the insight so far! Edited by sich0015

The surrounding fissure is characteristic of a struck-in metal fragment. It is NOT characteristic of any kind of lamination error.

I should also mention that an encircling fissure is also characteristic of rolled-in errors. In other words, this piece of presumed copper-nickel could have been rolled into the coin metal strip. If the weight of this specimen is normal, then we need to consider this second possibility.

The Washington quarter does not have an encircling fissure like Mike Diamond had mentioned. I don't think these errors are alike. |

The Nickel in question weighs 5.1 grams. For the sake of checking the scale, four other US Nickels weighed 5.0 grams each.

Although 5.1 grams is still within the normal range of variation, it's at the high end of that range. And that would support the struck-in scenario.
