NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 979 Posts	Posted 06/09/2026 6:06 pm So I'm going through my rolls 1959's looking for a particular coin and come across a 1959 D and think its just a PMD or a deteriorating die issue with the date. Then I find the 2nd one with a suspiciously similar issue with the 9 of the date. Now I know it isn't just PMD. I suspect a broken 9 and/or progressively accelerating Greaser. Or something I'm not familiar with. Any ideas? "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe the same die with less grease in a different strike of the same die? -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
