thusdayclub Valued Member Poland 263 Posts	Posted 10/20/2014 07:05 am Hello everyone. I believe you could tell me if it is PMD or some kind of error. I checked all JR varieties for this year and they doesn't match to this "thing". By red arrow I marked a scratch (in my opinion) and by black arrows something, what I believe is an mint error. It doesn't looks like scratch or hit, because I think it is not under the coin's surface. What do you think about this? And BTW - what would you value my coin? Only melt value, because of hole? Thank you for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

Tryna Pillar of the Community United States 937 Posts	Posted 10/20/2014 08:18 am The mark between the 3 and 7 is post mint. The coin took a hit of some kind. The line through the seven MAY be a die crack. MY computer does not give good enough resolution to be sure. The obvious damge outweighs any value the die crack might add IMO Report this Post to the Staff
thusdayclub Valued Member Poland 263 Posts	Posted 10/20/2014 08:30 am I have only checked graded examples from internet, I do not have any books unfortunately. I dont know what to think about mark between 3 and 7, to be honest, I thought it may be die clash. Report this Post to the Staff

thusdayclub Valued Member Poland 263 Posts	Posted 10/20/2014 11:32 am Yes Conder101, exactly! I don't know how I missed this. I hope kanga, your theory about "thing" between 3 and 7 is right. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
