CopperCastle Pillar of the Community United States 1132 Posts	Posted 03/02/2016 10:31 pm Hello, Picked this gal up @ an antique shop for a song. What's going on with the reverse? None of my other Braided Hair cents display these markings. The bumps appear to be rising out of the rim. Thanks. Here's the obverse for posterity's sake. Report this Post to the Staff

I admittedly noticed the marks prior to purchasing...knew there was a good chance it was PMD. Only a $9.00 tag so I rolled the dice.
