Do you think it is PMD, or this planchet already had peeling damage at the moment of minting that coin? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 10/18/2019 06:02 am To me, that looks like an old detached lamination on the rev. For damage, I see a rim ding at 1 o'clock on the rev plus a recent scratch, most likely from a staple when someone was removing this coin from a 2x2 near the date.

Or could this also possibly be struck through something the way the shield and branches are still there? Edited by muddyknuckles 10/18/2019 09:33 am Report this Post to the Staff
