Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 12/28/2024 12:39 pm I agree with: Could be easily faked as a struck-thru. and as Odd states, the 100 - 400 tonnes of force used to mint coins would leave a much smoother finish on a struck-thru with no rough edges.

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2004 Posts	Posted 12/28/2024 12:42 pm I'm thinking that they look more like multiple hits from the reeded edges of other coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 12/28/2024 12:51 pm It looks like PMD to me. Reminds me of impressions from springs. Report this Post to the Staff
Meyerstone Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 12/28/2024 1:05 pm PMD oddity it is. Thx all! Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74936 Posts	Posted 12/28/2024 2:06 pm PMD of some sort. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Tunnioc Pillar of the Community United States 3183 Posts	Posted 12/28/2024 2:56 pm Somebody playing around. Perhaps a letter K. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97925 Posts	Posted 12/28/2024 3:59 pm agreed PMD on this one - possibly a spring was pressed into the surface.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin 7070 type set coin count: 51/76 Uncirculated American Silver Eagles My American Silver Eagle Proof Collection Sacagawea Dollars Innovation Dollars Eisenhower-Dollars Kennedy-Half Dollars Washington-Quarters Roosevelt-Dimes Buffalo-Nickels 1938-2005 Jefferson-Nickels Lincoln-Cents Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 12/28/2024 4:05 pm I also think it is a PMD. The zig zag impressions are fresher than the coin's age. Report this Post to the Staff
Mack11 Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 12/28/2024 4:30 pm Definitely looks like a spring to me. Hard to tell from the pictures but are they indented or raised. Report this Post to the Staff
Meyerstone Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 12/28/2024 6:35 pm Def indented not raised Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/28/2024 7:46 pm I lean toward PMD as well. Report this Post to the Staff

Root River Mint New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 12/29/2024 2:02 pm This looks like what hand engravers call a "wriggle cut". it is done by rocking a hand graver left and right while pushing forward. Report this Post to the Staff
