    Just curious about the fissure on the obverse of this war nickel. Looks like damage but not sure.
    Then on the reverse the mostly missing “E” in CENTS. Grease filled die? 29196681-DF97-43D8-822F-F9769ECB2DBD.jpeg 792C8902-5824-4635-AD46-C806D5BEF423.jpeg 84094FF3-ACDB-466E-A6BD-5F2F1D0538E5.jpeg 431BC352-7060-40C9-832A-E1E59FE5C01D.jpeg 8E55F608-39EF-4CE1-B303-B8F9B50E2CFD.jpeg

    The Fissure is known as a Lamination. That would be a Lamination Peel. Probably occured before the Nickel was struck.

    The missing E is a result of a greased filled die.
    That's nothing major.

    That is a nice lamination error. Great find so protect it.
