I think you need to put some olive oil (or Coin Care/Blue Ribbon on the reverse and get that swatch of dark tonoing off there.

 

Bad tonig is not an error

Nice silver war nickle!!!

 

Argghh! That be true mate but she ain't purty!

I try not to offend anyone.

 

The coin has a Lamination error!!

 

jello,

I was just kidding when I made the statement and the Argghh!


Frank

 

Ok huntsman but here you never know!

 

Is that the lamination that goes through the dome of Monticello?

 

Yes it goes from the steps thru the dome and then ending at the R.
It kinda hard to see with all of the toning!!

 

I didn't pick up on it until you mentioned it. I saw the darker area, but just figured it was part of the toning. I've got a couple of Jefferson laminations. They are neat.

 

Nice coin...and what a Racing stripe that is!!

It doe's look like lamination it;s hard to notice but it;s there

 

It might just be coincidence, but I am drawn to the thought that there might be a relationship to the lamination and the toning. It has the appearance of Manganese toning I have seen on other coins, and manganese does have a reputation of difficulty of alloying. Possibly this area of the coin has a higher unalloyed portion of that metal causing both the lamination and the toning. It doesn't look like silver alloy toning to me.

Just a thought.

I was kinda thinking the same thing. You really don't see war nickels toned like this and why would it tone in a strip like that.

 

Keep in mind though that lamination errors are found on probably 35 to 40 percent of all war nickels. It is not a sought after error type in that series as they are so common.

So.. The toning devalues this coin and the lamination error does not help it at all.

I'm not being funny here but $10.00 is way too much to pay for a $3.00 coin.

Thanks,

well try harder.

and rememeber Newtons law

For every action there is an equal but opposite criticism

aside from the obvious, what is a lamination?

 

What are lamination errors? Please excuse my ignorance.

The patina on mine looks a little different, but could be lighting, and yours appears to be in better shape than mine.
