<p>[QUOTE="mikediamond, post: 44358, member: 1859"]If you see a small spot of copper on the edge, it may or may not be the copper core. In an off-metal strike on a solid Cu-Ni planchet, fine particles of copper left behind by previous quarters can be struck into the coin. It could falsely lead one to reject a genuine off-metal error. However, if you're sure it's a nick, then that would indicate that the edge was either plated or the outer clad material was smeared onto the edge. The latter would carry little value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
