Is this ANACS Error Labeled Incorrectly???

ctf_error_coins

I would call it a Missing Partial Clad Layer Error .....

I don't believe it is since if the clad layer were missing, there would be a visible edge instead of an even surface across the coin.

I also think they got it correct. I'll bet the weight is spot on for a normal Linc. BTW that's attractive coin.

There are actually three possibilities.

1. There was a break in the cu-ni clad layer, allowing the copper core to well up to the surface either during the rolling or the striking.
2. There was a blob of copper in the copper-nickel cladding strip that did not mix with the nickel alloy.
3. A blob of copper was rolled into the clad strip, in which case there should be copper-nickel under the blob of copper.

I would need to see how the copper meets the copper-nickel to guess which one it is.

That is not necessarily true.

I believe (with the coin in hand) that your description in number 1 is the case.

what would you call this error (short name)?

CaptHenway

If you are correct that the answer is #1, then your description at the top of the thread iws also correct.
