<p>[QUOTE=&quot;midtncoin, post: 2904069, member: 89569&quot;]While going through nickel rolls, I found something interesting tonight.&nbsp; It is what appears, at first glance, to be a 1985d Jefferson struck on an improper planchet.&nbsp; It is bronze or gold in color, the diameter is the same as a regular nickel and so is the thickness.&nbsp; So this rules out a wrong denomination planchet.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have a scale to measure it.&nbsp; I took some photos but I&#039;m still figuring out out to take good coin pics so please forgive the quality as they were taken with my phone.</p><p><br /></p><p>I first thought that maybe the nickel layer had stripped off but then I thought that nickels were alloy and not clad layers so that&#039;s not possible.&nbsp; Also, the whole coin -- obverse, reverse, and edges -- are consistently the same color. Is it possible that a roll of blanks was improperly annealed (is that the correct word)?&nbsp; Or is this post-mint damage.&nbsp; It could possibly be but it looks too &quot;natural&quot; for damage.&nbsp; So I&#039;ll leave it to you experts.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The pics truly don&#039;t do justice to the luster it has.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]700076[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
