Can't be a clad layer because it is solid nickel. Looks like a real nice lamination. John1  |

Nice find, never seen anything quite like it. Almost looks deliberate.

You might ask Mike Diamond if he has an idea. Fred Weinberg on ebay might have an idea of value. But it is probably a valuable coin. |

This is a great Lamination error and it's huge! This will be worth a good premium. Some people would call this a "Clamshell" since the Lamination is deep and large. See this link. http://www.doubledimes.com/Clamshell.htmlErrers and Varietys.

Not a clam shell. The edge of the coin would be split.  Note how this looks like a clam shell. This OPs nickel is just a lamination issue. |

To me it looks like it was in some sort of holder because the stars on the west side seem AU and the stars on the right side seem worn. So my first thought was it was at the end of a watch fob or something. I have so much to learn.....  |
