Ugly Jefferson Nickels.....what Do You Have?

My first thought was a lamination error on the '46-S as well. I think it's a keeper but would like some angled closeups of the area to be sure, if possible.

I agree that the '42-D is toast.

Call me crazy,But I think it could be a very cool strike through. Maybe a sliver of metal got on the die.

Cool indeed,Crazub0's explanation makes perfect sense.

I was wondering the same Coop, how could some of the lams have these effects. My only thought was the rolling out of plate stock prior to planchet cutting. Kinda like rolling out pie dough, pieces wrap on cylinder like foil, then fall back down on plate and go to testing processes. Some may fall off, get brushed off while others after falling on the very heated rolled stock adhere once cooled. Then depending on how stuck the are when struck are knocked off or pushed further into the underlaying planchet. Think this would be such an example?

But then again, this nickel almost has to be a post strike because of fold over and no details stamped...so still have no clue!

Here is my ugly nickel:

But it is still a keeper. (nickel struck on cent planchet)

No it was a gift from my then, Brother in law. It is special to me as it was the year I graduated High School. (tell my age now)

That's an incredible coin coop! Thanks for sharing.

Wow coop, that's a great error coin!
