.... Did you just say PMD? I'm not seeing it as PMD.
It is smooth over the center of Monticello I see no tool marks and considering the overall condition it is not a washer coin or a victim of road rash. The outline of Monticello is visible
The E on Monticello is also weak.
With no obvious tool marks if this was PMD (modification) then the person that did the crystal skulls is responsible.
NOTE on pictures, these are the best I got out of about 100 shots... not bad since it's the first time I have ever tried to photograph a coin, I used an older Kodak EasyShare C613. I shot them through a goose-neck magnifying lamp that I have suspended from the rafters (unfinished basement cool in summer warm in winter, love it) I have it rigged with the springs so I can have it up out of my way or dropped down in front of my face.
The rims are full, so I'm thinking this is a Struck Through Grease error. If the nickel is the same weight as normal ones, I think this is the case. If the coin is under weight, then it might be a thinned planchet. The problem with that idea is the rims. If the planchet was underweight, then the rims would not be full.
OK so I don't want to sell it any time soon, I'm not young but I can hopefully make it to 2041, my idea would be to get it graded and slabbed then sit on it for the next 27 years.
Is this a good plan, anyone have a better idea. Is it worth the grading fee, also what is the best place to send it, would the grading service dismiss it because it's not silver and send it back saying it's not worth their time? or even confiscate it?
