Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 05/30/2014 05:48 am I'm thinking PMD myself. Especially if it's "lustrous" there on that spot, and nowhere else. I'm also noting that there seems to be a patch of missing toning right there at that spot. If I was given this coin in change, I'd assume a grinder or some high-powered electric tool had touched the coin at that spot, grinding just a little bit away. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
finch New Member Australia 14 Posts	Posted 05/30/2014 7:56 pm Sap ; Same patch above the large Roos ears and right of it's neck and around the $1 sign. The Roo with arms missing has a area of detail missing under it's head just above the top of arms (neck area) I've looked at the coin under different light conditions and magnifications, I honestly think your on the wrong track Sap, with respect.
