I found this going through a few old coins from a safe deposit box.
You can read the "E PL"where the layer is missing, the effect is like you are viewing the letters through a clear gel. and the bit overlapping the "RIB" does not continue past the rim. First is it an error? then what is it classified as and what may be a approximate value?

cpfull,

Yes it is an error and no,in what appears to be a well circulated condition,it is not worth very much.

This is a lamination and is pretty common on this series during the war years with the new alloy mix.

Still a neat find.With the price of silver up,it will always be worth more than a $nickel.

hope this helps

I agree with coffeecup it is a lamination error ,, and its value is sligtly over melt for the coin due to the condition,, find one in mint state and this story changes significantly .
