Oooh that one is nice. I agree that there seems to be two sections to this lam. Are they both the same depth or is one a bit deeper?

Could it be a lam and a de-lam? John1 
( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 6.5 +/- Million Cents Since 1971

@spence: the curved lam is shallower than the vertical.

It looks like there was a pre-strike retained folded lam from the 6 in the date to the top of the head. The coin was then struck . After the strike almost all of the original lam plus an additional amount from the top of the head to the shoulder fell away. Of the original folded lam there is a bit left at the top of the head. The curved impression is where the original curved edge of the folded lam was struck through. Super coin !

Quote: The nickel atom is octahedrally coordinated by the four nitrogen and two oxygen atoms of the L2#8722; ligand In chemistry, octahedral molecular geometry, also called square bipyramidal, here it is the photo of:  Starting with this, I have some questions about this coin effects. First I like the theorem of STONE. Due to the structural geometry of the Ni, is almost impossible to broke linear which we have here. Second on the same line the curve (which correspond with the coin dimension) is no way to have. So we have here two linear broke and one curve perfect round. Other question I put my self and hope you can have the answer it is the Reverse, In the word Monticello and upper the letters in USA I see signs of heat. Look at the small shrink's. The last: why the reverse has signs of more circulation flattering then the most high design of the Observe. It for the first time in my life I see a peace of nickel with such ex-foliation and structural metal after ex-foliation. Hope no one will come to tell me such "wild imagination" which is so infantile, puerile and insulting affirmation. Happened here somedays before and please contradicted me with any kind of theorems, and made me learn something. Thanks,

Out of curiosity, what is the weight? Silviosi, it might be Die Deterioration above Monticello and the top of USA (or die pitting?). The same effect seems to be at the base of the bust, head, and back in the full obverse image.

Thanks for the weight, so it has had some metal fall off of the coin. But at one time, the lamination was still there and it was struck through on the strike. Someone may have removed it years ago. If may have looked like this:  If you see this, leave it intact. There will be more interest in these when the fold over is still there. Unique find with the flap.
