frankstony16 New Member 27 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 8:47 pm I pulled up the image again and there is a gouge above that T. It seems to be in the shape of a hammer. I also noticed that LIncoln has an eyeball... how weird is this coin Report this Post to the Staff

mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 01/26/2013 2:52 pm SsuperDdave had made a comment regarding a similar appearance on one of my errors. His opinion was a strikethrough. He explained that there was no displaced metal around the hole. If this is what is on your coin, then my guess would be a strikethrough, however if there is metal pushed away from the hole, I'd say PMD. Your images are not clear enough for this amateur to see any detail (on my computer) for a better guess. Report this Post to the Staff
frankstony16 New Member 27 Posts	Posted 01/26/2013 3:13 pm I am not high enough up on the latter to email you guys, but I could send the full resolution picture if you email me. You have to knock the quality down to post on the forum.I promise I am no spammer or nothing like that. There is also something on the reverse Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 01/27/2013 7:20 pm frankstony16, it seems that you have a keeper....for now. I didn't know that it could be a strikethrough.... I'll check back tomorrow to see if there are any more opinions. (A lot of CCF folks were a the BIG SHOW this weekend.) Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 01/27/2013 7:26 pm I think this is PMD and is zinc rot. A pin hole goes through the copper plating exposing the zinc to the air. The zinc corrodes pushing up a bubble. As the zinc continues to corrode the bubble collapses which is where your coin is now. Report this Post to the Staff
