Brice0113 New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 09/02/2018 12:23 am Hello All. I found this nickel in a roll today and it has some damage to it. It looks to me like the planchet was damaged before it was struck. Has anyone else ever seen this and can tell me what happened to it? Thank you * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/02/2018 12:36 am What you have is a "de-lamination". The coin alloy was improperly mixed and when struck a portion of metal fell off after the strike. You can tell because the back of the head is formed. on the reverse is also a matching area of delamination as well. This was very common in the composition of the War Nickel alloy, happened on all mints, all years. Nice find in a roll, has 35% silver in it but no nickel in the alloy.
