Tenhulz Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 5:44 pm Hi there, I was searched my sisters saved coins and came across this 1985D Jefferson nickel. The reverse is also very shiny, I'm thinking Brockage? or Capped Die ? As you can see, some of the lettering is completely gone so I don't think it is PMD. Sure would appreciate some experts to come out and play. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Tenhulz Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 5:46 pm The more I look at it, I'm thinking lamination. But would the surface be shiny like silver with lamination? Report this Post to the Staff

For coins like this you have to ask, how couldn't this have happened at the mint, rather than how did it happen. Report this Post to the Staff
