It looks like a lamination to me. These are very, very common on Wartime nickels because of the problems they had with the alloy. Some of the...

File adjustment marks are not uncommon on 18th century coins (so for US coins, that means the very earliest). But Indian cents are a bit late...

HeyHey, @Deacon Ray. 'Tis good to see you, sir.
Here is one of two identical medals made from the USS Olympia's propellers. Both were lucky finds in a really nice sack of tokens I bought a few...
