    I don't think that picture is showing a missing clad layer at all. There is not even a description. Is that your Nickel?
    Maybe someone will correct me if I'm wrong but a Nickel has no clad layer..it is all made of Nickel

    The one going for .99 cents with 1 bid.... forget it! Guy does not know what he's saying. More like Environmental damage.

    The seller posted this on his page - quote "I just got an email from someone who said this can not be a missing clad layer error. Nickel's do not have clad layers, they are solid. So I am not sure but it could be a lamination error?" closed quote... not a Lamination Error :facepalm:

    Seller should be reported for postage.

    For grossly overcharging for postage. Ebay has suspended sellers for this. To refresh your memory, $3.30 to mail one nickel. Of course, the bidders knew that up front, but that doesn't change the facts.

    I
    They won't care about $3.30. It takes a lot more than that to get them to even look into it.

    Not if it's been happening over and over. One other thing they can do is cut off your free listings.

    No. That's wrong. Won't happen over $3.30.

    If you say so. I'd charge 50c for one small coin - 49c postage plus 1c for the envelope. By the way, I've been on eBay for 16 years, 100% perfect Feedback of 2263. What the hell do I know?
