KoinKurious New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 05/08/2021 2:17 pm So I found a silver War Nickel, which is cool. It's in fairly rough shape but there is damage that I don't fully understand in the form of cracks around the mint mark and on Jefferson's cheek, mouth and head. Any insights?

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19210 Posts	Posted 05/08/2021 2:26 pm I'm thinking lamination issues--have seen them on War Nickels before. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/08/2021 2:33 pm It is affected on both sides. But hay, there was a war going on then. But the silver mix and copper mix seemed to have issues with lamination issues on them. More information on lamination and ghost images? : https://goccf.com/t/398151#3408267 Even more information with lots of images of stuff you've probably never thought of before? https://goccf.com/t/394694#3377395 Edited by coop 05/08/2021 8:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

KoinKurious New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 05/09/2021 4:15 pm Thanks, everyone. On the subject of coin holders/flips, do you have any recommendations? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/09/2021 4:29 pm I prefer the 2X2's. But if you buy the plastic flips, avoid the soft plastic ones. They will contaminate BU coin with PVC damage. Get the hard plastic flips, not the soft plastic. This also applies to the square tubes. The soft plastic ones can be used for circulated coins, but will alter the color on the BU coins. But the hard square tubes will not turn the color on BU coins and are the better purchase.
