GTG and Error.

I'm going to throw a wild guess out there. Based on the coloring of the coin, along with the coloring of the indents of the coin on the obverse (very black indents, almost like oxidizing), I'm going to take a guess and say it's a Struck on Copper (CI-Ni) Wartime Nickel.

I'm scratching my head on this one. I will be following it though.

 

Although this is planchet related it is not struck on an incorrect planchet.

 

I can see the error clearly, But, I also know what it is.
Do you have a guess on grade?

 

I took another photo.
Problem is it is an absolute give away.
So here is a clue.
Why is the coin at a slight tilt in the slab?

Do you see the error, and possibly have any better clues to help?

I'd have to guess XF-45/AU-50. I'm right on the fence.

 

Rotated Die Strike.

 

Have I stumped the Paddyman? As said it is a planchet type error.

 

Planchet Split after strike?

 

Yes, this is a split planchet after strike.
Or a clamshell.

This one is barely staying together from what I can see thru the slab it is still connected from 1 o'clock to about 3 o'clock on the obv,

 

Yahoo! What Did I win?

 

You would have to guess the grade on the slab correct.
And I don't know, maybe an atta boy, or a pat on the back, maybe a high five.

 

Geeze, late to the party again. I was just going to say this, and grade it Fine, but too late. LOL

 

Do you take them out and serve them on the street? I hope you cleaned it first. LOL

 

So I guess you want the grade on the slab.

 

I saw it right away on the photo of the reverse, before seeing the added photo. Very cool clamshell error! And looked low XF, unlike my damaged mercury dime, which is still cool to me, nonetheless. Awesome coin, where did you pick it up?
Mine for reference:

 

At a brick and mortar. This dealer has a lot of good well priced inventory that turns quick. I hardly ever see the same coins twice.
