Tommyjet Valued Member United States 334 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 11:35 am Came across this 1957-D. Is this a PMD? The 5-9 have extra metal and I see raised marks on the mint mark. Thanks for looking. Report this Post to the Staff

OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 11:46 am no it is not PMD, clogged dates are common for that year coin I keep all these clogged dates with my bie and cracked skull coins. Also check the eyelid of the coin to see if there is extra eyelid I think one of the DDO has clogged date as marker small possibility of a extra bonus Report this Post to the Staff

OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 11:52 am Small possibility but it might also be a rpm can you get a straight on of the mint mark so we can see left side and bottom right side more Is there a die scratch from N in unum to the right wheat stalk on reverse Edited by OcalaFlorida 02/09/2016 12:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 12:00 pm They are not clogged dies. When a Die gets clogged with grease, then the device is not formed. In this case part of the field of the die has chipped away. Thus that area is not formed like normal, but appears as a raised area on all coins struck after this event happens. These are common on the 1950's wheat cents as they over used the dies. So we see this often on this series. It happens other years as well, but not as often as the 1950's wheat cents. Being this is die breakdown, there are thousands of these. So it is not a premium coin. Just coins of a die that was over used. Report this Post to the Staff

OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 12:17 pm coop, do you think his coin could be a 1957D-1MM-027 and 1957D-1DO-006 I am most likely wrong but just figure double check http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=lds http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=lds always learning here aswell.. A die chip would be more accurate.. I just call them all clogged letters but now I know that there is a difference. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 12:32 pm While it looks close, when you hold a piece of paper ( I use a piece the size of a business card) under the date, you can see the 027 is further south. The paper allows you to see through the paper to see where the edges of the devices are exactly. Report this Post to the Staff
