lucidfind Valued Member United States 132 Posts	Posted 03/19/2025 7:45 pm Could the mark on the reverse across "UNITED" be a possible planchet error? Edited by lucidfind 03/19/2025 8:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 17526 Posts	Posted 03/19/2025 7:51 pm It looks like something is on your coin, such as tape or glue. Have you tried soaking it in acetone? Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

lucidfind Valued Member United States 132 Posts	Posted 03/19/2025 8:09 pm Nothing on the coin, no tape, no glue, no acetone, just missing metal that involves a small strip going across the letters in "UNITED". Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4612 Posts	Posted 03/19/2025 8:45 pm Looks like it could be a lamination. Silver nickels are known for that.

Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 17526 Posts	Posted 03/19/2025 9:35 pm Definitely a lamination, lucidfind. That last picture is really good! Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 68292 Posts	Posted 03/19/2025 10:19 pm yep, that is a nice lamination - just too bad the coin is in such bed shape Collecting since 1972.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 4374 Posts	Posted 03/19/2025 10:42 pm Interesting. Given that the lettering appears intact in the lamination, could this be a loss before strike? Report this Post to the Staff
Marve65 Pillar of the Community United States 5220 Posts	Posted 03/20/2025 12:31 am Definitely looks to be a bad mix of the alloy with copper showing under the lam peel. Report this Post to the Staff
