AMB Pillar of the Community United States 801 Posts	Posted 10/01/2014 7:09 pm This is the 2nd coin I've found like this. I tossed the other, but now that I've got a second I wonder if others have seen them. What is it? Report this Post to the Staff

Rollsearcher37 Pillar of the Community United States 1295 Posts	Posted 10/01/2014 7:21 pm To me it looks like PMD. If the die was chipping in that area it wouldn't be recessed like this is, there would be raised die chips instead. If it were a planchet flaw, the damage wouldn't be on the devices as it is, as the flaw would have been there well before it ever got to the dies.

AMB Pillar of the Community United States 801 Posts	Posted 10/01/2014 7:41 pm That's what I thought ...but this is the second I've come across that's from my recollection identical. Couldn't be a strike through? Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 10/01/2014 10:14 pm Are you thinking struck through something Coop? Something partially occluding the MM and sticking to the face of the hammer die? Wild guessing here. I would have passed on these as PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/02/2014 12:44 am I wonder if the die was starting to rust in that area? Or something like sand sticking on the die? Report this Post to the Staff
