Aye I was referring to the trace elements, specifically the precious metals you mentioned. Hehe, once I get everything properly cataloged and in order (I'm still chipping away at it) I'm most certainly taking you up on that offer, as only a handful of the pieces in my collection (such as those I've mentioned above) have been given proper XRF. :-)

The V nickel is mis-described but probably not a counterfeit. It isn't from a shattered die, I've seen coins like that that have come out of sewers.

If it was a shattered die the 'cracks' would be raised rather than incuse wouldnt they? I think its just had a hard life.

Alan Herbert the noted error specialist called these "SEWER COINS" since chemical treatment has caused this incuse effect. Post mint damage - 100% certainty.
