CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 10/16/2011 2:15 pm The first one is some kind of corrosion or possibly plating. I see a few nickels like that now and then. The second I would have to guess some sort of rolling or counting machine mishap. Report this Post to the Staff
murrellington Pillar of the Community United States 3276 Posts	Posted 10/16/2011 3:01 pm The first one looks like it was sand blasted. Not sure what happened to the other. They are both definitely PMD though. Report this Post to the Staff
Bluntedbobylon Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 10/16/2011 3:37 pm If it was dragged through a counter or some thing wouldn't there be damage on the obverse? The reverse almost has a starburt effect going on around the edge while flat in the center....? Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/16/2011 5:38 pm The second nickel is PMD, the rim is missing and the edge is beveled which are sure signs of grinding/sanding action. Report this Post to the Staff
FOTD Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted 10/16/2011 6:04 pm Yup PMD. I have a penny like that also that looks to be ground down around the rim. Report this Post to the Staff

jamwins Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 10/21/2011 3:39 pm The first one looks like corrosion from some chemical and the second one almost looks like it was put on a bench grinder. Report this Post to the Staff
