Dearborn Moderator United States 94784 Posts	Posted 03/16/2025 8:17 pm Well it is not a lamination, a nickel is 75% copper 25% Nickel alloy - meaning it is all mixed together. I think your coin is either very stained or has been heated to make the copper content rise to the surface. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
