jdavis18 Pillar of the Community United States 557 Posts	Posted 03/15/2012 08:16 am I found an older nickel yesrerday that look like it had a delamination (I'll post pictures later today). I could still see the devices (in this case letters) underneath the removed layer. Is this normal? Report this Post to the Staff
