It's essential to have it in the title. * Hey, I came across this bizarre coin. As I mentioned in the title I have no idea. I thinking PMD but and I mean but, there is a nice shine. If I may, I would like to share what my research. The luster seems really nice. Flow lines, the coin doesn't have a "not cut in feel". Parallel lines Blebs? Maybe Occluded gas bubbles?

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21829 Posts	Posted 09/18/2025 12:18 pm One thing it's not are occulated gas bubbles. Looking at the parallel lines, it looks like it may have been scrubbed with some sort of acitic liquid. No matter what the cause, it is damage of some sort. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34527 Posts	Posted 09/18/2025 1:49 pm We all agree that it didn't leave the mint looking like this, but I think that @make just nailed it--looks to me like it spent some time being abraded by a wire brush.
