What happened to this Jeff nickel?

I'm not sure if this is even an error. Possible struck through some debris? or a bad planchet to begin with?

Struck through?

 

Possibly a lamination error before the coin was struck. The detail in the letters seem to strong to have been struck through. Hard to say......every coin has a unique story.

 

me want

 

I'd say struck through

 

Wouldn't that be a defective planchet? Or is that was a struck through error is?

 

defective planchet/lamination before it was struck ? cool find. unusually good eye.

 

thats kinda cool . I love Jefferson nickels

 

yup

 

Pardon my ignorance, but struck through what? Or is that just a general term?

 

I think it means when a piece of debris like a piece of cloth or a piece of metal is between the planchet and die when struck . I'd say bad planchet .

 

You would ask, Greg! I'm staying out of it.

C'mon Chris admit it . You just got hungry and took a little bite out .

 

maybe some grease there too, the " L " in Monticello stamped pretty strong there

 

This!

 

this is a lamination error like others have said , it is quite common in the silver alloy war nickels

 

Thanks for the info. Lam error it shall be!

 

I think lamination too. The crack above Monticello and going into the dome is a lamination crack and the voids on Monticello would be detached lamination.

 

Lamination -- Defective Planchet

Whats the diff??
