Hi Everyone,

So another error/PMD Question. This one I just can not figure out due to my lack of knowledge of unique errors. I hopefully can post the close ups too. Or figure out how to reduce the file size. The reverse of the coin looks normal. Silvery disc is imbedded into the coin with features on it. The edge of the disc is flaking to show some base metal underneath its shiney silver top. So what are your thoughts? or or

It is sitting on the coin and not imbedded. It almost looks like an old sticker. Whether it is a sticker or not it is not an error.

Yeah, it looks like an old disc that used some kind of adhesive to hold it in place

Still it is sitting on the coin and not imbedded. The coin was not struck with it.

I only see an old sticker covering the coin, give it a soak in water.
