Mrhakfbacon Pillar of the Community United States 639 Posts	Posted Today 20H 20M ago Hard to tell if this is PMD or not, the areas of weakness especially the reverse look like examples I've seen before. Linked below is an example of what I mean, albeit more extreme: https://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/196...ption-071515 Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21928 Posts	Posted Today 14H 35M ago To me it is just a worn nickel. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19635 Posts	Posted Today 14H 30M ago Agree--looks to be circulation wear typical of a hard working, long serving '66. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 79679 Posts	Posted Today 13H 4M ago Maybe a Greaser? Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 592 Posts	Posted Today 8H 52M ago With the symmetric poorly formed rims at k6 on the reverse and k12 on the obverse as well as symmetric weakness of the strike in the center of the devices, I'm inclined to agree with the weak strike idea, perhaps with a slightly tilted die as well. Weak or no rims and symmetry of weakness in devices on both faces almost always means weak strike over grease. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 79679 Posts	Posted Today 6H 48M ago Now that I look at it again, I agree with it being a Weak Strike. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Mrhakfbacon Pillar of the Community United States 639 Posts	Posted Today 3H 34M ago I agree it's hard to tell, for anyone using this for future reference, here is a link to varying states of examples in increasing weakness order: The weakness tends to be mainly in the center. https://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/197...ption-071515 https://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/199...ption-071515 https://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/196...ption-071515 https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...t-strike-ngc https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...t-strike-ngc And some other denominations: Indian cent https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...t-strike-ngc Wheat cent https://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/und...ption-071515 Zinc Memorial cent https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...t-strike-ngc V nickel https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...nt-state-ngc Mercury dime https://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/und...ption-071515 Roosevelt dime https://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/und...bnail-071515 SLQ https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...t-strike-ngc Washington quarter https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...e-ms-60-pcgs Kennedy half https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...t-strike-ngc Morgan dollar https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...t-strike-ngc Peace dollar https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...t-strike-ngc Ike https://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/197...ption-071515 Presidential dollar https://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/200...ption-071515 ASE (progressive set) https://www.greatcollections.com/Co...S-67-6-Coins Double Eagle https://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/192...ption-071515 Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 79679 Posts	Posted Today 3H 20M ago Here's my example of a Die Adjustment Strike. I mistakenly thought it was Struck Through Grease, but that wasn't the case. https://goccf.com/t/369164 Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
JennyCents Valued Member United States 221 Posts	Posted Today 3H 11M ago Would a light strike cause the letters to be touching the rims? Seems like the rims are too well struck for it to be a light die strike. Edited by JennyCents Today 3H 7M ago Report this Post to the Staff

The dies were worn when they struck my coin as well. https://goccf.com/t/369164&whichpage=2#3169868 Thank you, snailking1 and Dearborn. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
