Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1602 Posts	Posted 12/10/2015 4:31 pm Are you thinking a die scratch? If that was the case, the highlighted area on the coin itself would be raised. This looks incuse, as in a scratch on the coin itself, ergo PMD. IMHO. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/10/2015 5:30 pm Don't try cleaning this one. The surface will flake off and the coin will look pink and very weak because of the loss of surface. Leave it as it is. Report this Post to the Staff
