lucidfind Valued Member United States 203 Posts	Posted 03/19/2025 7:45 pm Could the mark on the reverse across "UNITED" be a possible planchet error? Edited by lucidfind 03/19/2025 8:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 26136 Posts	Posted 03/19/2025 7:51 pm It looks like something is on your coin, such as tape or glue. Have you tried soaking it in acetone? Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

lucidfind Valued Member United States 203 Posts	Posted 03/19/2025 8:09 pm Nothing on the coin, no tape, no glue, no acetone, just missing metal that involves a small strip going across the letters in "UNITED". Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 03/19/2025 8:45 pm Looks like it could be a lamination. Silver nickels are known for that.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 26136 Posts	Posted 03/19/2025 9:35 pm Definitely a lamination, lucidfind. That last picture is really good! Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6655 Posts	Posted 03/19/2025 10:42 pm Interesting. Given that the lettering appears intact in the lamination, could this be a loss before strike? Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10601 Posts	Posted 03/20/2025 12:31 am Definitely looks to be a bad mix of the alloy with copper showing under the lam peel. Report this Post to the Staff
