<p>[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 86378, member: 4350"]Hi,</p><p>By looking at the condition of the coin, you can see that it has had a rough life after it left the mint. On occasion, the copper and nickel are not mixed well enough and you have what is called a "sintered" planchet. Some of the copper that is not mixed in well enough is visible. There is an outside chance that this is what it is. Still noth worth more than five cents. It is definitely not struck on a wrong planchet.
