Notice the reverse of coin #1, and the obverse of coin #2. Observe how the plating did not bond to either in those areas leaving similar...
I finally have a pair of coins that feature a progression of different die stages from the exact same coin die. Below are two 1970-D Jefferson...
That coin is damaged. Under the "RU" in "TRUST" is a horizontal scratch, likely from sticking a sharp, pointed object to force the lamination...
I did :)
Sorry. I meant nickel, not clad!
It is fun to theorize! To me, the even copper color, and how the "copper strip" seems to be pressed into the contours rules out tarnish caused...
I have seen examples of rubber bands ruining silver coins. But I have never seen them damaged clad coins, not saying it can't happen.

for envelopes from the 1950s and 1960s, can you tell just by the outside envelope if whether a mint set or a proof set were inside?
Only ICG slabs them
Coin has expanded unevenly, but is not a broadstrike. Pretty sure it was hit with fake dies to resemble a rotated double strike and the doubling...
I agree
