amnight Valued Member United States 332 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 12:58 am I wanted to know if this is PMD because someone buffed it away or if he really is missing his ear. The space is sunken in a little bit from where his ear would be to about the middle of his head. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 09:17 am I see weak areas in other parts of the coin so I am thinking it's a Greaser. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 11:49 am It appears to have been struck through something. Whatever it was would have been more solid than just grease, possibly "press gunk"(hardened grease and metal dust mixture). Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/17/2015 2:42 pm Looks more like a Struck Through Grease error to me. The ear area was filed thus preventing the ear to form. Report this Post to the Staff
tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 02/17/2015 3:17 pm It looks like Grease Filled Die . I have an example here of an S.B.A that had the same issue little different location and still has the grease in it. If I removed it would be more prominent but not doing that. Notice the o e almost gone all the way and then the blob in the middle. It's oddly similar Report this Post to the Staff
