Pauldog Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 03/25/2019 03:55 am I just got a few dozen of the part-silver War Nickels for the value of the silver content. With few exceptions, ugly! I think I found only one or two errors, and those were lamination problems, not any of the double strikes. I also found this odd one, and I'd welcome insight on what it is. I thought it might be paint or nail polish, but acetone did little or nothing. Edited by Pauldog 03/25/2019 03:57 am Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34511 Posts	Posted 03/25/2019 06:01 am Yes the outer surface of the coin is delaminating, but I wonder if this has been helped with exposure to heat (e.g. a fire)? Those are somewhat unusual patterns for a lam error.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 77110 Posts	Posted 03/25/2019 09:09 am Looks like whatever was on its surfaces is now peeling off. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Pauldog Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 03/25/2019 5:37 pm The peeling part seems to be very thin and uniform. Is this possible with a lamination problem? Around 5 o'clock on the reverse, there's a reddish, thinner layer underneath the outer one. Look at the "R" in "AMERICA." I just noticed something else. The "C" in "CENTS seems to be covered by this layer. Report this Post to the Staff
