Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 11/16/2014 10:49 am Hi John - have a look running from the R in AMERICA you can make out two fissures; one running on top through the O and last L in MONTICELLO and the second running through the E and the first L. These are a lot clearer in hand. Another fissure (or part of the same fissure) narrows as it moves across the Monticello and comes to a point by the left rim. The fissures rise and fall with the details/devices on the coin. I initially thought PMD, but the pits look scalloped and some of the delamination appears attached, especially the divot on the left hand side of the Monticello. I'll try to take a couple extra pics - it was getting late when I posted these. Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 11/16/2014 1:22 pm Hi John - I'm in the same spot. I took some extra pics but in the middle of assembling a desk for my son (honey-do-list has to take precedence for the moment). Thanks for the extra look. The spots on the upper rim look PMD with a possible exception of the one at 10ish. Either burnished material or perhaps attached lamination. Kevin Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/17/2014 05:31 am I feel this is a lamination error. Note on the RI on AMERICA you can see a fain design of these devices. If this were PSD they would have been totally removed from a hit. They are in a straight line across the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 11/17/2014 08:05 am Thanks coop. I saw that too and thought evidence of the device would normally be destroyed. I took additional pics but didn't have time to upload. Maybe later when I get home. Report this Post to the Staff
