Cecilia Sowinski Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 01/21/2021 3:01 pm Hi So this is a 1980 penny. I honestly am not sure what is going on here. I am thinking this must be PMD but what exactly is it. The marking is raised in height above the height of the numbers in the date. It does not appear to be glued onto the coin. Any and all help is much appreciated. Thanks Cecilia Report this Post to the Staff

Cecilia Sowinski Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 01/21/2021 3:06 pm It looks like something is on the coin correct? Not a scratch? I mean how would a scratch be raised. Very weird. How could something make its way onto a coin if it wasn't glued or melted on? Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4444 Posts	Posted 01/21/2021 3:07 pm Are you sure it's raised? it appears to be incuse based off the photos Report this Post to the Staff
Cecilia Sowinski Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 01/21/2021 3:15 pm It seems raised but maybe it's just the angel I am looking at it. Are there different ways of viewing coins to get a more accurate description? More zoomed in or out? Upside down or sideways? The source of lighting? Camera at an angel vs looking straight down? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Bedrock of the Community United States 14836 Posts	Posted 01/21/2021 4:11 pm Looks incuse to me too . like an object hit into the coin with a lot of force also causing the rim to be affected .

Cecilia Sowinski Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 01/21/2021 5:20 pm So what do you think caused this? It is PMD correct? Report this Post to the Staff
