Mark Oliver New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 01/15/2016 3:08 pm Could it be, a crack in the die for the "2" allowed metal to seep up into the crack and rob the desired "2" of the metal it needed to show correctly? Report this Post to the Staff

seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 01/16/2016 5:56 pm It is NOT die damage. It is PMD, just like this 1941 I came across a couple of years ago. Report this Post to the Staff
jjwabraham Valued Member United States 288 Posts	Posted 01/16/2016 11:09 pm Very Interesting. both the coin and the nice pictures. I agree on the '52 it is PMD, but both that one and yours would have gotten a lot of extra scrutiny for their oddness. Report this Post to the Staff
