I had a similar situation with a loonie that I posted here but no replies:

The interesting thing is that it is happening around the rim in your coin and the one in my posting.
In both situations it appears that the common denominator is the fact that they are multi-ply plated steel coins.
There was no reply to my post and I attributed the reason to limited interest in loonie errors.
Seeing that there is no response to this post which deals with nickels I am wondering if others have just not run into this type of stuff.
I do think it is a result of quality control issues at the RCM. Maybe worthwhile writing to them.
