Bob Levi Valued Member Canada 488 Posts	Posted 04/22/2015 10:24 pm I'd say lamination peel. Not sure though. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 04/23/2015 09:22 am Minor lamination. Looks like a flake of nickel plating has peeled off. Although we cannot see the date - is it a plated coin (post 2000)? That does not look like a lamination seen on pure nickel coins...

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2517 Posts	Posted 04/23/2015 7:16 pm Question, if it's a pure metal coin (not an alloy), it can still have laminations? Report this Post to the Staff
thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 04/23/2015 7:34 pm yup, all it takes is an impurity in the mixing and rolling of the metal that is used to make the coin. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
McNickel Valued Member Canada 261 Posts	Posted 04/23/2015 9:34 pm Now I know what it is, thanks everyone for your input. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 04/24/2015 11:03 am I have seen nickel dollars and 50c coins, with flakes of copper struck in them (retained)... it could have been an impurity that has since falling out... https://goccf.com/t/161264 "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.
