bjsturg Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 11/09/2025 4:53 pm In the date... the 9 has lost some part. The 5 is all messed up. Looks like PMD, but the "part", ( lack of a better word) that is over the 5 looks nothing like a 5. Is it possible the the 5 was polished out and an attempt to put another number there? Any help would be appreciated and thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19275 Posts	Posted 11/09/2025 5:51 pm Agree with all above. 'Old school' (rotary-fed) parking meters would do the same. Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7120 Posts	Posted 11/10/2025 2:48 pm Glad to see Marve65 chime in on this post seeing as he was the only one to direct you to the rpm. Even with the PMD this rpm could help grow your collection. Report this Post to the Staff
