a few questions

atarian

i found a few coins some good coins and 1 or 2 with a question


My finds :

1928 wheaty ( F)
(2) 1940 nickels VG
a 48 nickel and a 53 nickel / VG
and a 2004 Lewis and Clark nickel but heres the question.

looks like a lamination issue cause there a quarter moon of Darkness, the rest of side is like a regular nickel and on the jefferson side looks normal. is this a lamination issue

Not a really clear message. Where did you find them? The nickels you found are commom. I just put a bunch of nickels in the 50's back in circulation. They were of fairly low quality. I find nickels in the 40's not as often but even those I find occationally. With so many millions of collectors of pennies on that is 1928 in F condition is rare if you got it in change. As to the coin in question it would be fantastically better if you could take a photo of it or just scan it so people could see exactly what you mean.

I don't think lamination as much as I think toning due to some type of contamination. I would think lamination problems would show up as an actual crack across the coin where your picture just shows toning across a smooth surface.

You're correct...

This looks a little more like an example of an improperly washed planchet... but I'm not entirely sure on that...

any comments on the pic itself, it was done with a fuji 4.1 mp camera and help with a coin loop.
