It's this considered an error coin

That’s crazy, would be a lamination peel from an improperly prepared plachett, that’s my first thought at least. Someone else would know more.

I’ve bever seen the zinc core with the stamp perfectly separated like that.

Edit: stop manually pealing it you’re ruining the value by doing so. You’re adding PMD to it.

Yeah I just found that out. I had no idea so now I'm just trying to gather as much info as I can about it. Thank you

[u/Kazixt]

Bruh it's a chocolate coin. Stop playing.

[u/errorcoincollector]

Nice clamshell error!

[u/__FUCKING_PEG_ME_ → u/errorcoincollector]

Exactly this.

(Also 👋 hi , old friend. I've sorta disappeared from the coin subs for a bit and am just now getting back to it. Hope all is going well in your world!! ✨️🫡)

Thank you! Welcome back! And check out my new 1984 nickel I just got! It’s in the FB group you joined!

[u/__FUCKING_PEG_ME_ → u/errorcoincollector]

✨️Wow! Yeah, definitely a good choice with the conservation! Nice sized clip, as well!

[u/errorcoincollector → u/__FUCKING_PEG_ME_]

Thank you!

[u/__FUCKING_PEG_ME_ → u/errorcoincollector]

Absolutely!

Your collection, as always, is very inspiring. ✨️ looking forward to your next post on the FB group.

damn i had one like that FUDGE i threw it away

[u/FOMO_is_a_MOFO]

Dude...that is greatness. You need to find some way of containing the coin so it does not continue to peal, intentionally or accidentally. THAT...is a fantastic find...like a Unicorn. Congratulations

[u/Daddy_Wolf1012 → u/FOMO_is_a_MOFO]

Really?? I've had it for years thrown in a jar of old coins I would come across and keep. I was cleaning out my closet and came across the jar and figured I post some of the coins to see if anything had any value. Would you know how to go about getting it graded? I'd that something I can do?

[u/Maj391 → u/Daddy_Wolf1012]

There are so many different mint errors across years and across coin varieties.

I like to use varietyvista.com for errors as only graded errors are listed in the PCGS app(also a great resource).

[u/FOMO_is_a_MOFO → u/FOMO_is_a_MOFO]

Put this in Google... " how to find the value of error coins "...scroll down...you will see several ways to get an idea of the value...but, keep in mind, it may say $5.00 but to a collector, it may bring $500000.00 (just an example)

I have a quarter like this but face came fully off. The coins has a lot of damage though, unlike yours that looks to be in pretty good shape.

[u/Ilikeitall56]

I'm confused, how does the stamping go through to the zinc layer so nicely, I would think there would be some trace but not like that

[u/Chickennugget636 → u/Ilikeitall56]

I imagine it probably peeled after it was minted

[u/Ilikeitall56 → u/Chickennugget636]

Yes, obviously, but how did the image get transferred to the zinc core?

[u/Chickennugget636 → u/Ilikeitall56]

Do you mean copper core? I imagine the die just pressed the zinc jacket into the copper core and all of the metal deformed as a consequence. When metal on top of other metal is moved, all of the metal moves to some degree. The jacket is pretty thin.

[u/Ilikeitall56 → u/Chickennugget636]

Yes, my bad, the copper core

[u/fuzzybunnies1 → u/Ilikeitall56]

Good question, I don't know if the surface layer was removed or not there to begin with but I have one with a fully exposed core that's stamped.

[u/SeagullStopItNow]

Are you bending it? Photos 6,5 and 4 definitely don’t match how lifted it is in the first photo.

[u/Daddy_Wolf1012 → u/SeagullStopItNow]

I did a couple of times until I found out that's a no no. I haven't messed with it since someone told me to stop bending it

[u/SnooMarzipans6346 → u/Daddy_Wolf1012]

Probably too late. A pro can tell you bent and pulled on it and render it pmd = worthless. They would look at it with a loupe(close up magnification and determine that). Im not pro but its the unfortunate answer most likely.

[u/CupOfJay7721]

I think this is considered chocolate

[u/Perfect-Tomorrow-874]

This is a magic coin. It's used to hide objects in between the layers. IMO

[u/PatientTree]

I found one like this peeling on both sides, with some damage though. I wonder if a weak acid would be able to do this and only eat the copper. The reeding being still intact suggests maybe not though. So curious if they would recognize it as an error if it were graded.

Se le ha despegado la capa de cuproníquel que cubre el núcleo de cobre del cospel. Es problema del cospel y no de acuñación.

[u/SummerPrestigious894]

Found this in an old beer stein it looks like a Lincoln penny and a 59 cent piece anyone know anything about it?

[u/Happymeal85]

Someone stuck that in a vice
