Were war nickels homogeneous or plated?

 

[l.cutler]

War nickels were positively absolutely not plated, or clad like later dimes, quarters, halves and dollars. The metals were mixed as in all nickels.

 

[ClonedSIM]

Alloy.

 

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

Improper alloy mix. This is why you can see some streaking in the color. Kind of a "mistake" by the U.S. Mint.
This one seems to be two errors in one. Improper alloy mix and a Lamination.
