It's PMD it was squeezed between something or hit. If it was a die clash all or almost all of the indentions would be in the field and it would have been in shapes reversed from the other side of the coin. |

Just damaged. Maybe from a counting machine.

Definitely PMD. I don't think it's from a counting machine. Usually when there's damage from a counting machine, it leaves partial circular rolls on both left and right sides of the coin. Also usually happens on the obverse, reverse, and sometimes both. |

Ok... that's it then. Fortunately I've plenty of MS 59s left out'a this purchase (a whole $5 bux) so I'm happy w/ the consensus! Too bad it costs more than the coin is worth to cert a penny!

They more than make up for it with the paper money.

If it were a struck through wire, the field below the shoulder would also be affected. This coin also got me thinking about how it could have happened and came up with a new theory: If the obverse is affected and reverse wasn't, would this be a mint error? Then I got to thinking, if someone took a pair of side cut pliers and made a mark on two coins at the same time, then just one side of both coins would show the effect, and still would be PSD. But the mark on the reverse looks like it was struck through a rim burr. The raised area by the "PL" might be an imperfection of the rim burr piece? |
