Dearborn Moderator United States 95630 Posts	Posted 07/07/2025 1:11 pm This looks like a defective planchet. Not PMD. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6495 Posts	Posted 07/07/2025 1:40 pm I think that's a reasonable conclusion. War Nickels are notorious for laminations and alloy mixing problems. Could be a fissure, a chunky lamination crack, or even a small ragged clip from the end of the metal sheet. Report this Post to the Staff
