vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 05/27/2012 2:25 pm goly1382, a proper should have been in order earlier :-) Sorry to say but it's nothing more than PMD. Someone/something severely affected the coin with damage outside the Mint. Your coin appears to have VG+-F details however, it's value has been greatly reduced because of this. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
