<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 44358, member: 1859&quot;]If you see a small spot of copper on the edge, it may or may not be the copper core.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; It could falsely lead one to reject a genuine off-metal error.&nbsp; However, if you&#039;re sure it&#039;s a nick, then that would indicate that the edge was either plated or the outer clad material was smeared onto the edge.&nbsp; The latter would carry little value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
