Hope everyone is having a good day!

I am still new to coin collecting and learning everyday...was hoping to get feedback on my 3 nickels. Are they missing the clad layer or is it PMD?

I appreciate your time! Thank you!

After uploading the photos, I noticed the 3rd photo is actually the reverse to the 2018, which is the last coin pictured.

@soc, the surface staining on these nickels is not indicative of a missing clad layer (recall that unlike US quarters and dimes, this denomination isn't clad but rather a single alloy the whole way through). These would all be spenders for me.

Your coin looks to match number 1 in the list of Dirty Dozen Damages. Even though there is no premium value to these, you might try to find a nice example of each.

1) discoloration - stains from coffee, or environmental damage from being buried, heated, etc.
2) scrapes over much of the coin - damage from sliding on pavement, a parking lot coin
3) coin bent or edges not round - it has been smashed with a hammer
4) coin blank on all or most of one side - someone sanded it down
5) mirrored lettering - a vise job, a coin squeezed against another in a vise
6) rough, pebbly surfaces - coin that received an acid bath
7) smooth rims, smaller diameter - has been trapped rolling inside a dryer, a " dryer coin"
8) clear mounds on coin - glue that has dried transparently
9) small indentations in the shape of the letter D - marks left by the impact of the reeded edge of another coin
10) large blisters - coin exposed to high heat, such as in a campfire
11) shapes, often letters or numbers, not indented or raised - Pareidolia (like animal shapes in a cloud)
12) a circular scrape just inside the rim - " Ring of Death" caused by a coin rolling machine

Don't despair! Error coins remain ready to find from circulation, but they are outnumbered by unusual looking coins that merely have been damaged. If you can imagine a way to change an undamaged coin into one like you see, that's probably exactly what happened to it. Changes to a coin after it leaves the mint's striking chamber are considered post mint damage, or PMD, and have no premium value.

Nickels don't have a clad layer, so it can't be missing what it doesn't have.

What it does have is environmental staining/toning/discolouration. Post mint damage, no error, sorry.

to the CCF!
ça va bien aller

Thank you all for your comments and wisdom! I have a lot to learn. I had to laugh at your list,"The Dirty Dozen." That's probably the best collection I have so far! Thanks again!

As correctly stated your nickels have experienced corrosion/staining from the environment.
