ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19216 Posts	Posted 09/25/2024 07:56 am Appears to be a lamination issue. Technically, not a die break. What doe the obverse look like? Report this Post to the Staff
pdzl Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 09/25/2024 08:07 am Here's the other side. Also here's a comparison, the S is clearly missing from the left off of the lamination. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97723 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 5678 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 97723 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.
