I'll guess.

It's a lot of money spent certifying a Type 1 quarter planchet!

Thanks nickel searcher. It's relatively the size of a dime. Maybe slightly larger.

Based on the circular marks, I will say a planchet that went through the upset mill and then had a cupronickel clad face split off before strike. This is the piece without the copper core attached.

Awesome! Nice purchase! I knew, since I have two of them in my collection. They're just in non pvc 2x2 flips.

A Jefferson Nickel: I believe that a sandpaper or a belt sander did this damage.

oh man! went to the garage to get an item from my car, came back and posted, and now notice you already posted the solution!
Willburton, next time, give us a little time to think, even if we are wrong like I did!
