If it is normal weight then it is not missing any layers. It looks to me like environmental damage. It might be a dug up coin maybe a metal...
Wow, 3-6 weeks would make me crazy (and my wife). The other reference I have is The Error Coin Encyclopedia by Margolis and Weinberg. It is set...
PMD. This is just damage from outside the mint. A broadstrike is a struck out of collar error and creates a coin larger in diameter with wider...
For some reason this note has been altered at the date. The Yorktowne notes have a date of 11th of April. This note looks like the date was...
Eire, that is for the die cap itself that struck this coin. For this coin look at the last paragraph of III-J-6 Full Brockage Strike. Herbert...
Eire, I am curious, what error did you look up and what book are you using?
I think what you have here is more of a strike through error instead of a brockage error. It is called struck through a capped die. A previous...

Jon, this is a great exmple of a scratch on the coin after it left the mint. Notice how it has a recess with a raised sides. If it were a die...
Broadstrikes are struck without the collar. So if your halfs are broadstruck they should not only be larger in diameter but will also not have...
Looks to me like a rim burr and part of it fell off. Not a lamination/delamination.
This is just post mint damage.
It's not plated. It's just damage.
It doesn't have the surface characteristics of a Henning. I agree with Borgovan, I think this is a 1948 nickel.
I'll be there Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.
I will be there Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.
Could you weigh this? One possibility is struck on a nickel planchet. But we need more info.
None of your dimes have cuds on them. They have die chips. A cud is a break at the edge of the die. Die chips are interesting but common on...
If the area on the reverse is raised then it is not a pop out coin. I still think this is a late stage and worn reverse die
