newkoin3 Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 12:31 pm Hello all... This is a 1945 San Fran mm. Could the damage done to it be from the mint? If not, how did it end up like that? Also I was wondering about the mm; it looks like it might be a RPM? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 12:58 pm No way that happened at the Mint. They couldn't get drunk enough to treat a coin like that. My guess is this coin has seen duty as road pavement. Report this Post to the Staff

newkoin3 Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 1:31 pm Yea that sounds about right... I know I'm not that lucky. On that note can you tell me about these 3? I see a few things myself but just wanna know what the pros say. Report this Post to the Staff
newkoin3 Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 1:50 pm Sorry about all the pics.. this is the last one for now :) A 36' but on the reverse, there looks like there's the number 8 in the blade of the axe. Thanks for the help! Report this Post to the Staff
newkoin3 Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 2:08 pm Had to take the macro feature off to fix resolution. Hopefully the 8 in the blade of the axe can be seen now... Report this Post to the Staff

newkoin3 Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 4:08 pm I'll try to get some clearer pics up. In the last one if you look at the axe blade, you can make it out. It's on the blade, top left side, looks like an 8. Report this Post to the Staff
newkoin3 Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 4:10 pm Most of the pics are clear, when I use the optimizer they get blurry. I need a better camera. Report this Post to the Staff
newkoin3 Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 4:18 pm Maybe this one will be better.. Report this Post to the Staff
newkoin3 Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 4:19 pm Should be able to see the blade clearly now? Report this Post to the Staff
WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 5:23 pm Lots of gunk on that one, but I think I see what you're pointing out. Most likely PMD. (Post Mint Damage) Report this Post to the Staff
