westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 09/09/2013 04:14 am I'd say this one is PMD, but in low grades like this it can be hard to tell what happened before the wear and damage. I'd guess this was in the ground for some time at one point. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

downtownsf Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 09/09/2013 09:32 am A lamination peel usually comes off the coin with out affecting the surrounding coin. The metal on the face of your coin appears to be gouged in one direction or the other, pushing the metal into a small lump on the the sides of the gouge. The damage at 2 o'clock flattened that area a bit which would not occur during a peel. On the picture of the other coin you posted you can see how the surrounding areas are unaffected. The coin is still circular in shape and the metal surrounding the peel is flat. Edited by downtownsf 09/09/2013 09:33 am Report this Post to the Staff
