I have seen this before only on the softer nickel coins, meaning&nbsp; type two nickels I also had a roll of Franklin&nbsp; half&#039;s&nbsp; unc. That&nbsp; had the same issue. I would agree this was probably&nbsp; one of the first minted proofs in 42.... in the silver compound used for these&nbsp; nickels. And the upsetting&nbsp; machine was not adjusted to the alloy change.</p><p>Thus it was set for pre war nickel&nbsp; alloys when turning up the rim. If you look closely&nbsp; it just about 360 around the coins rim.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
