ghousejr Valued Member United States 148 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 2:50 pm I was hoping to get some opinions on this one. Forgot I had this and remembered that I wanted to ask the community if you have any ideas what could have caused this? At first I was thinking PMD but the more I look at it the more it has me wondering. The two rings are almost perfectly centered within this coin. Perfect circles as well. I was reading a little bit about Die Rings but these appear to be too large or are they? I would appreciate any feedback on this. Report this Post to the Staff
