New to this forum any input will help. Report this Post to the Staff

ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 10/13/2016 1:26 pm Welcome! Agreed: post-strike damage. A weak (low-pressure) strike will not have such a sharp border between strong details and missing details as we see along the words "E PLURIBUS UNUM". Typically the lettering will fade some. Also, if this were a low pressure strike, there would likely be similar weakness on both faces of the coin. Edited by ErrorCoins222 10/13/2016 1:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 07:52 am If the outer edge of the coin is concave, then I think it is/was encased. If not, then PMD as noted above. Edited by Pete2226 10/14/2016 07:53 am Report this Post to the Staff
