Voduh New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 12:57 pm Haven't seen anything like this yet, however, I'm still pretty new at this. The "Y" in Liberty looks funny. It doesn't look like PMD to me. If you look close, you can see that it hardly even looks like it used to be a "Y". Opinions appreciated Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 12:59 pm Looks like the coin was altered after it was struck. Nothing in the striking process could have done that to your coin. So it is PSD. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 1:15 pm Some kind of contact mark after strike. The damage makes it look like a radar dish. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff

Hnry Valued Member United States 106 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 03:34 am interesting...it does not appear to have any physical marks on the flat near the top of the "Y" , yet the "Y" is partially filled in... neither leg of the "Y" is straight...they are both curved... where the metal come from that filled the "Y" in?

Voduh New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 09:40 am That's kind of what I was thinking. ^^^ Report this Post to the Staff
BlueSolo Pillar of the Community United States 740 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 3:35 pm The physical marks have been long gone since it spent 70 years in circulation. "where the metal come from that filled the "Y" in?" I don't understand, the "Y" was struck normally then hit. This pushed the existing metal down then circulation took over in smoothing the devices Report this Post to the Staff
