Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/10/2023 8:39 pm All of these issues are commonly seen on the warnicks, nothing special that I can see. Edited by Coinfrog 10/10/2023 8:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6494 Posts	Posted 10/10/2023 9:07 pm I like collections with a theme. Why did War Nickels have so many lamination problems? Was it the new alloy or some other cause? Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 10/10/2023 9:10 pm As is say: De gustibus non est disputandum. It is nice to have a specialised collection. Me I just analize those coins not collect. Will be nice to have a good XRF and to see and catalog the different impurities of the alloys. Very interesting passion.

CreativeName Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 10/10/2023 9:12 pm I always assumed (maybe even correctly) that they were rushed into production without testing the metal mix — and that incomplete metal mixes led to many peeling laminations. The coin maybe heating and cooling with the weather could have caused the incompletely-mixed metals to expand and contract at different rates, causing the separations and peeling. What seems to me like a high number of grease-filled dies with missing letters and design elements (such as the two shown here) might have been the result of the new metal mix sticking to dies and needing more grease than other alloys needed. This is all guesswork on my part. I don't actually know why these nickels seem to have so many problems. But I'm glad to have so many interesting anomalies available on these nickels. I bought all of the ones pictured here on my last two trips to the coin shop. About $1.30 per nickel. Fun and affordable. Edited by CreativeName 10/10/2023 9:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
