Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 10/27/2020 3:44 pm It looks like some sort of collar break but the damage on the reverse and scratches on the obverse makes me suspect I may be wrong about that. Curious piece Edited by Adam_E 10/27/2020 8:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 10/27/2020 9:08 pm Obverse looks to just be damage, basing that in the displaced metal along the scratches. Reverse, I'm leaning towards PMD. To me, if this did happen during the strike, I would expect to see some obverse strike weakness/ distortion in the devices. This is quite the opposite, with a relatively strong obverse strike. Report this Post to the Staff
