 Looks to me like MD on the stem and a chip on the B. Nice BIE! I think more specifically Die Deterioration and a broken post. Nice BIE.

Suspect possible acid deterioration more so on the reverse? Thanks, Doug.

I have rippling on a coin in an ANACS holder. The coin is graded unc with no mention of the rippling. Asked ANACS, but did not get a reply. Also I've had "watermarks" graded unc from them. Got a red 2 cent ANACS details that says whizzed, that looks like clear fields.

Seeing the die chips obverse. Seem to be common in the 1950's. The reverse rippling seems to be similar to either acid etching, or maybe a heat treatment after strike ( PSD). Thanks, Doug.
