I don't know why this could not be similar to a woodie or lam coin, usually in reference to a cent, where the alloy mix was a bit off. I would think it not being worth anything extra though, maybe less because of the 5% downgrade in silver. My 5 cents worth. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 03/12/2022 5:35 pm In the table ci joint you will find what was the cartridge composition. Due to the rush in that war time to struck coins they do not purified the Cooper and left the 5% Zinc (look for Gilding Brass) then add 30% Silver and 5% Manganese. This explained the circulation color of your coin. Hope this table is useful for anyone. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5774 Posts	Posted 03/13/2022 10:30 am Nice chart Silviosi. The OP's nickel definitely has some lamination issues as seen on the obverse (in a NW to SE direction on the forehead to the T of TRUST and shoulder/collar). Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 03/13/2022 10:31 am Report this Post to the Staff
