JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21672 Posts	Posted 09/22/2021 08:22 am Looks like some sort of environmental damage. No matter what caused it, it is still PMD as that couldn't have happened during the striking of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19275 Posts	Posted 09/22/2021 08:42 am Agree, environmental damage--perhaps exposure to a mild, corrosive environment. I've seen these in the past. Report this Post to the Staff

Pennybyj Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 09/22/2021 10:52 am It's like it's matted with sand and know the sand did not get on there by itself Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21672 Posts	Posted 09/22/2021 10:58 am Doesn't really matter how the sand got on there, the fact that it happened after the coin was struck means it is damage. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/22/2021 11:11 am Just another plink into the Wheat cent pile. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 09/22/2021 4:26 pm Environmental damage. Rough surface probably from acidic exposure, maybe from being buried in soil. Maybe a metal detector find at some point. Bottomline: post mint damage ( PMD). Value: usually around 3 cents being the wholesale price for wheaties.
