Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/14/2018 2:58 pm It's PMD, scratches are indicative of being dragged across something grainy like sandpaper, just damaged. Some call these "parking lot coins", may not be how it happened, but you get the point. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34562 Posts	Posted 05/14/2018 5:27 pm My default reply is always PMD, but I'm not 100% convinced on this one. The reason is that the scratches don't seem to be on the rim (which is a high point). It is a little hard to tell from the pics, but these linear defects do appear to be on several of the low points of the portrait and inscription. I would think that roadrash would normally hit the highest points of the design elements. Crazyb0 is almost always right, so I'd hate to bet against him being wrong. Maybe a couple other folks will weigh in on whether this is just PMD or something else.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/14/2018 10:35 pm If it were damage, you would see it stronger on the rims. I'm thinking rolling lines on the planchet. I bet if we looked closer between the devices, we would see these lines on the fields on Liberty? Report this Post to the Staff
