Now first thoughts are PSD but There is no misplaced plating it is completely shiney orange plating. I tried to get some good pictures but don't know if they are good enough. Any thoughts are appreciated. Edited by CoinCents 03/02/2016 4:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 03/02/2016 2:04 pm Okay then, but I expected that if it had taken a hit the plating would be displaced or gone and the zinc showing through. There is no damage to the plating; so it looks like it was hit and then plated. Which I makes no sense. lol - Thank for checking it out for me. On to the next. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 03/02/2016 4:28 pm I was looking today at the reverse and now something new. Picture yourself scooping out some ice cream. Where the flat of spoon leaves a smooth indent. Well, this is what I have on the reverse right side of the Memorial Bldg from the base to to the columns - again just like on the front the copper plating is in tact. I have attached pictures but not sure if I am capturing it good enough. Very Strange. Edited by CoinCents 03/02/2016 4:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
