Mrhakfbacon Pillar of the Community United States 589 Posts	Posted 01/14/2026 6:48 pm I've looked at this coin and I can't figure out if this is just PMD, a Retained Cud, or lamination. I know the other stuff on the front is PMD though. If it is a mint error, would it carry any premium? Edited by Mrhakfbacon 01/14/2026 6:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

My opinion - No. The coin is very corroded and damaged on the reverse, as well as worn to ~G06 state so whatever that object is most collectors would not pay any premium.
