Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 06/16/2012 1:28 pm I was looking for some help with this cent. When I first looked at it, I put it in the junk pile assuming it was suffering from some bad PMD. But as I look at it again I am not so sure.... Is it possible that it is an incomplete clip or some kind of double strike? I was thinking the beads on the obverse should be more distorted if this was PMD. Also, I do not have much experience on the date types on 1891s. Could anyone confirm whether this is large or small date? Thanks for any help!

Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 06/17/2012 11:01 am Thanks Bosox. I had tried visiting your site but I am afraid I was a bit thick on the navigation and didn't find the right page. I was hoping it was the SD but the Charlton photos didn't leave me with certainty on it. Yours are much better. Here are some better photos of the damage. Obvisouly this was done with some extreme force. The edge of the cut does not exactly match a planchet but I am still wondering if a loose planchet could have interfered with the strike?

barriecarson Valued Member Canada 370 Posts	Posted 06/17/2012 11:11 am Very cool. I guess I will come down to wether this was caused at the mint or if this is post mint damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Zonad Pillar of the Community Canada 1472 Posts	Posted 06/24/2012 8:12 pm I am quite sure it is PMD. Damage was done after the strike to separate the rim from the denticles.SDLL as bosox thought. It is weird, but only a little similarity to SPP's retarded coin. Report this Post to the Staff
