Rowbeertoe Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 02/13/2017 3:54 pm I'll get better pictures when I get home. The quarter and the nickel are for sure uncirculated. Not sure about the pennys Report this Post to the Staff
Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 02/13/2017 4:35 pm It will definitely help to get obverse and reverse pictures of all of the coins. A clipped planchet is easily faked, but I think I may see some Blakesley effect opposite the main clip, which would make it legitimate. I'm not sure about the 1959 nickel -- it just looks dirty or tarnished to me. The sintered nickels should have a visible layer of copper on them. http://www.error-ref.com/improper-annealing/ Report this Post to the Staff

However, there is no copper layer. I noticed at the end of the article it says: Quote: This will result in the type of phenomenon shown in the photos, where a distinct layer of material forms on the blank surface (primarily copper, with a high degree of oxidation), which is quite brittle, and will break off in pieces. This will expose the original blank surface, which would also be oxidized, but closer in color to the original alloy. We have seen these types of blanks but only infrequently. From this I don't see where it says the copper has to be present. Please educate me if I am wrong. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
