CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 01/03/2019 11:13 pm Looks to be a lamination. Common on the 40's nickels. Still, it's a mint error, and it's an okay size. Happy hunting! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/04/2019 02:03 am It is a lamination flaw, or lam. It's nice, but not very dramatic, so it's more a curiosity than anything else. I would keep it. See here and explore: http://www.error-ref.com/lamination...fter-strike/ In your case, the flaw has not resulted in any coin metal falling off, but the crack, or fault line as I view them, is there and it could separate more with a bit of assistance.
