I've added the best photos I can (novice to both numismatics and how to create good images). There appears to be PMD on the reverse but on closer inspection, it looks too unusual a displacement. To me at least. Any help much appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96451 Posts	Posted 06/30/2024 4:39 pm these images are very blurry and out of focus - can you provide better? It is a nice silver nickel with some extensive wear on it though. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

FTJR New Member United Kingdom 22 Posts	Posted 06/30/2024 5:04 pm Thanks for the replies and welcome. I'm sure I will improve my photography skills, still not as sharp as I'd like but a little clearer I think. Thanks again for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

FTJR New Member United Kingdom 22 Posts	Posted 06/30/2024 5:30 pm Thanks again for the replies. Now that you've identified this for me, I've quickly read up a little on laminations. From images of others and though it's a poor condition coin, I do like the lamination on this one. Particularly the way 'America' is displaced but still visible. One to keep, I don't have many variety type coins so thanks for the education everyone. Report this Post to the Staff

FTJR New Member United Kingdom 22 Posts	Posted 07/01/2024 06:13 am I will introduce myself as a new member and backstory at some point. I'm currently attempting to go through a large number of coins both British and U.S. This one was in a small bag of Nickels, so not sure exactly where it came from. Thanks again for all the good will. Report this Post to the Staff
