Just wondering what may have caused the damage to the upper right corner of the 1945 nickel. You'll notice that it carries over slightly to the obverse.
That makes sense. A problem with the chrome plating causing oxidation of the steel core underneath. So I guess it could be caused by a plating issue or PMD in that section.
These nickels came today and the 1945 definitely has some oxidation forming under the chrome plate. It's a pity because the nickel is otherwise almost flawless. The seller's pictures don't do any justice to the George V nickels. If I could do this once a week I'd never have to work again.
