coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/20/2015 4:54 pm Is the outside edge of the coin out of round? It so, it may have been altered. The reverse also looks like it had a tough life. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/20/2015 6:07 pm Not out of round. The die cracks are in areas that I have not seen before. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/21/2015 04:55 am I am 99% sure it is not PSD. But what would cause it and what would it be called? John1 Report this Post to the Staff

yotie Pillar of the Community United States 3077 Posts	Posted 06/21/2015 08:11 am are those really die cracks or could they be gas bubbles? Edited by yotie 06/21/2015 08:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 06/21/2015 08:42 am To me - the area below the Memorial looks like those could be bubbles - those above look like cracks. Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 06/21/2015 09:05 am I've seen this too; sometimes raised and sometimes sunken. When sunken it has the appearance of a poor planchet. But given the frequency, I tossed that idea out. Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 06/21/2015 09:58 am I cannot tell from the photo whether the area by the date is raised or sunken...? I guess if it were sunken, that would rule out peripheral die damage. It looks raised to me from the photo. Report this Post to the Staff
