Scuba1 Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 12:30 am Hello to all. I found this one awhile back and almost forgot I had it. I thought I'd post it up here for some feedback. I am familiar with PMD and the likes but this one really peaked my curiosity. I just can't see the apparent large earlobe being PMD or a die chip due to its size and shape. It looks to me to have too much definition and I can't see any damage around the pronounced earlobe that would have "bunched up" this amount of extra material in the exact shape and size of the earlobe. He's definitely seen some miles with dings and things but is overall a fairly well struck coin. Thank you for any feedback. -Scuba1 Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 1457 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 12:31 am Just took a hit in circulation. PMD.

Scuba1 Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 01:07 am Hi SamCoin, thank you. However, I just do not see how a hit could have been so perfectly placed in which to cause such an exact matching earlobe that is much larger in proportion to the surrounding devices with no discernible evidence of damage around the earlobe. I am very familiar with PMD and if the consensus here is that it is PMD then so be it, no worries at all. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 2743 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 01:13 am Hits such as these occur all the time. It's just PMD, moved metal. "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." - Forrest Gump The concept of maturity is complex. While one's capacity to be mature can be correlated with age, someone's overall maturity and respect for life is not. Maturity is formed through experience and perception. Human progress can only be achieved through trial and error. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 1457 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 02:15 am No idea what you mean by a matching earlobe, scuba. The ding I was referring to is just above the earlobe along the rim of the ear. I think you're just confusing the normal design of the earlobe for doubling (confusing the separate fleshy and cartilagenous parts of the earlobe design for doubling, which it is not).

John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 37690 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 04:14 am I agree with circulation damage. John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 5+ Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff
Scuba1 Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 11:18 am Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I was just fooled by what appears to be a knot of sorts on the lower fleshy part of the ear. It just really stood out to me but then again my eyes ain't what they used to be. No worries, on to the next one. :) Report this Post to the Staff
