Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 12/20/2024 8:43 pm @luc, dank u wel for adding these images as that greatly help us to understand what you are seeing with the coin in hand. Based on these pictures, I'm thinking that there is heavy damage to the coin, perhaps from it having been in a corrosive environment rather than a mint error such as a double-strike.

Lucifer 17 New Member Netherlands 43 Posts	Posted 12/20/2024 9:41 pm That's was my first thought as well, but I just wondering if that is the case the letter should not still visible and align right? And when I closely look the letter in first leyer is bigger than the 2nd layer.? (That's only my innocent observation) Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/21/2024 04:34 am This coin is heavily damaged. It may have been caused by a corrosive environment or high heat. It has certainly seen more than just normal wear and tear.

With this amount of damage, it is hard to say for sure. Perhaps some material has been deposited on the surface of the nickel here as part of the chemical corrosion? That sounds the opposite of what we would expect, but if there was a galvanic aspect, then it could be possible. We can't say for sure what happened to your coin other than it didn't happen when this coin was being struck at the mint.
