fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3059 Posts	Posted 04/16/2025 3:33 pm I pulled this one out of circulation several years ago. It appears to be a lamination. There is a raised area of the copper core, as well as an adjoining area that was struck, but with the cupro-nickel clad layer missing. I'm not entirely sure what I have here. I appreciate the help on this. Here are the full coin photos. Here are the detailed photos of the edge. Here are the detailed photos of the surface of the affected area.

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2327 Posts	Posted 04/16/2025 3:59 pm Cool, looks like a missing clad layer before and after strike. The wheel mark damage is unfortunate.

Marve65 Pillar of the Community United States 5588 Posts	Posted 04/16/2025 9:11 pm Strange, green on the copper like expected but green on the clad layer too? Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Bedrock of the Community United States 13581 Posts	Posted 04/17/2025 05:53 am Nice find. I agree this is a partial missing clad error. Take a look at my other hobby ... https://www.jk-dk.art Too many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time. Report this Post to the Staff
