The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1392 Posts	Posted 12/26/2023 8:17 pm Hi all, Came across this 1988-D LMC today. Looks like something went wrong in the plating process when this one was struck... doesn't look damaged, scratched, or anything. The devices look good and undamaged. What say you all?
