MintedNotPrinted Valued Member United States 410 Posts	Posted 10/01/2025 10:36 pm I'm at least sure this one's an RPM rather than PMD, although it doesn't match any listings on CC or VV, but I'm not sure what the damage to the southeast of the date is. Small strike through? Report this Post to the Staff

MintedNotPrinted Valued Member United States 410 Posts	Posted 10/01/2025 11:25 pm Errers, much appreciated as always. I'd guessed strike through as it almost has the appearance of a grease strike in the field on a clad coin, but lamination would be more likely to affect the rim as seen, wouldn't it?
