Dearborn Moderator United States 97586 Posts	Posted 09/25/2024 09:07 am can you provide a full image of the obverse that shows the area of concern better? So far, I'm just seeing this Break/Lam in small pieces. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

igwt79 Pillar of the Community United States 1467 Posts	Posted 09/25/2024 10:07 am Nice find for sure! Keeper! I'm leaning towards a lamination issue, but interested to see what the more experienced expert consensus is on this. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5677 Posts	Posted 09/25/2024 10:23 am Looks like a lamination issue, but it almost looks like a cracked planchet that goes through to the other side. I'm not sure if it lines up perfectly, but there's a defect at 1:00 on the obverse that might be connected. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97586 Posts	Posted 09/25/2024 12:50 pm Thank you for the full coin image. And, yes, I'm for a very nice Lamination. The silver/copper and manganese composition sometimes did not mix well and creating these De-laminated War Nickels. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin 7070 type set coin count: 51/76 Uncirculated American Silver Eagles My American Silver Eagle Proof Collection Sacagawea Dollars Innovation Dollars Eisenhower-Dollars Kennedy-Half Dollars Washington-Quarters Roosevelt-Dimes Buffalo-Nickels 1938-2005 Jefferson-Nickels Lincoln-Cents Report this Post to the Staff
Sharks Pillar of the Community Canada 1770 Posts	Posted 09/25/2024 1:04 pm @pdzl Lamination issue, not worth cost of evaluation/slabbing. Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10601 Posts	Posted 09/25/2024 5:44 pm Nice one - very good pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
pdzl Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 01/13/2025 7:18 pm So I sent this coin in to NGC to be evaluated and XRF metallurgic analysis. It came back with a details grade and I was given an analysis report that says it is 51% copper and 40% silver. It does not say anything about manganese which leaves me to wonder if the remaining 9% is a bunch of trace metals mixed instead. So it appears this is an off-metal planchet.
