OBV has a retained interior die break (I think) that is affecting the striking of the reverse, making it weak. I'm not an expert. :)

CoinHunter27, I think you may be onto something. I looked at some retained interior die breaks on Cuds on coins site and it looks similar. I wonder how common it is to have the piece hanging on by a thin piece like it is. I could flake it off very easily and almost did so when I first found it. |

Not too sure, but maybe the break shifted a bit during the striking, and that's why it looks like there are two rims on the obverse. The shifting caused the reverse strike to have some weakness in the corresponding area. Is it flaking like a lamination? Again this is just my educated guess. Not an expert. :p

@DJD, you have an interesting coin. Could be a "hanging chad" lamination. You should strive to keep the thin piece from completely becoming separated from the rest of the coin.

Spence, I've been trying to keep it in tact. So far, so good. I think I'll toss it in a 2X2 for now until we uncover more info. Thank you for the advise so far everyone!

I have not seen many 197_'s with lamination problems, what say you other guys? Date and area above involving the rim PMD along with reverse. Shame because like I stated I believe lams for 70's are rare. Is it 2x2 worthy with the damage...you decide...  |

Sorry Greasy Fingers, but I highly, but respectfully disagree about it being PSD. I have contacted Mike Diamond. You'll have to wait for him. He'll probably know what it is. Unfortunately, other than that, I can't help any further than this, since I am not an expert at all. Errers and Varietys.

All this talk about something to the right of the date when there is the big thing on the bust. Could you give us a full coin shot ,obverse and reverse?

It's either a struck-in flake of metal or a flake of metal that is delaminating from the coin's surface. I strongly suspect the latter, as another flake detached from the area above and to the right of the date before the strike (hence the weakness on the reverse).

My guess would have been It Is a 1977 D and has a Retained Interior Die Break starting from the rim in to the coin. And the rim damage could be Mint or PSD not sure. To me it looks like a pushed Seven. Edited by Daves Errors
