@Silviosi Definitely not PMD, this is a fantastic example of a struck through rim burr. The crescent piece fell off the rim and got imprinted into the surface of the coin during the strike. This is one of the largest and nicest I've seen, and it's even nicer since it was struck through its own rim burr and you can see the missing section. Edited by SamCoin

I think that the rim burr was shaved off from the side and below (obverse side) up towards the reverse side - you can see where a tiny bit of the cladding was torn off before it was possibly deposited on the anvil die just before the strike. Well, that's my theory anyway..  (I think dearborn was on the right track also)Edited by Dearborn

Dearborn, sorry man. I meant to mention that the crescent is incuse. I walked away from my desk to get some water and forgot that when typing in the description.
Now my next question is, is this worth getting graded? If so PCGS or NGC (which is a few hours from my house) and I have a membership with them. I have found more so than not that NGC coins don't fetch as much of a premium as PCGS. I also understand it depends on the what coin it is or type of error.
Thanks and glad I grabbed that jar!

Probably not worth grading. The general rule of thumb is that an error or variety needs to be worth about $150 to be worth the cost of grading. This is definitely worth some money, but not that much. I would just throw it in a 2x2.

SamCoin, thanks for the input. I may still get it slabbed by NGC since most of what I keep is NGC slabbed for my personal collection I plan on passing down to my son down the road. I learned something new again too! I may have tossed another one back a year ago just assuming PMD. It was pretty chewed up too. |

Struck through a rim bur on this coin. It probably broke off of the planchet while going into the collar, and the rim bur from this coin or from another coin, landed and was struck onto this coin.
