Brian2012 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 08/09/2011 12:28 pm I have a bufflo nickle that seems to have an oval in graving. I'm new in coin collecting and I was wondering what is was. I think it may be a dye chip but I don't know. Thanks for your help! Report this Post to the Staff

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 08/09/2011 1:22 pm I got this one lamination A thin piece of metal that has nearly become detached from the surface of a coin. If this breaks off, an irregular hole or planchet flaw is left. - from the CCF glossary I wasn't lazy or anything, I myself forgot what it was, so I looked in the glossary.

It really looks like something almost like solder or the like. You can see the outline of the lower leg under whatever it is. Report this Post to the Staff
