mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 07/28/2025 9:47 pm Bought this from the same antique store as the 1936 DDO FS-102 cent, but from another coin dealer there. He had several sheets of mixed denomination coins in 2×2's that were labeled oddities and errors where I found this nickel. Interestingly about half of those coins were definitely not errors, but post mint damage of various types mixed in with real errors. So yeah, being the coin nerd I am, it was pretty easy to distinguish both. Then this coin showed up, one of the largest ever lamination peels I have ever seen on a War Nickel. I paid a very fair $12.50 for this, which to me was a good price. (ND)-P War Nickel, 3.25g (normal is 5g), diameter normal... (P.S., no observable RPM) Edited by mrwhatisit 07/28/2025 9:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 07/28/2025 9:57 pm Beautiful piece. What does it weigh? It's better than a severe lamination. This would be considered a "split after the strike". I bought both pieces of 1942 P Good 4 by ANACS in 2023 with about the same amount of the reverse unaffected.

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 07/28/2025 10:02 pm I mentioned the weight above as ~3.25g. And split after strike was one idea floating through my mind at one point. Report this Post to the Staff
