BadToTheBone Pillar of the Community United States 1795 Posts	Posted 11/18/2015 4:33 pm Without seeing it in hand my first guess would be PMD but upon closer observation I do notice that the N does look different but looking closer and comparing it to the other N you could see that it could wear like that. So I'm going with PMD myself. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 11/21/2015 10:12 am Dcnw1983, The reason I was curious about weight is rolled thin or lite weight planchets tend to show weakness opposite the bust more times than not. The weaker points on your coin seemed to fit that pattern. The weak devices as well as the weak rim section all line up opposite the bust. Was wanting to confirm there was enough metal to fill all the devices. Yours seems to be on the low end of tolerance, but sure circulation accounts for some of that. A greased up die can do all kinds of random things. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
