hoppyg Valued Member United States 89 Posts	Posted 08/11/2016 5:38 pm On the reverse of this 1973 D LMC, I noticed an interesting rise on the top left corner of the memorial extending to the 2nd and 3rd bay, and another bump under the stairs just below the left planter. I thought it might be PMD, but the obverse shows no sign of the coin being hit and causing the rise on the reverse. I then thought possible clash but the overlays on maddieclash do not line up. Could this be a die issue or a struck through issue of some sort? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/11/2016 6:23 pm The die was clashed and polished to remove the clash mark. Then several more times it was clashed and polished. Not that part of the field is missing leaving now a raised area. You can also see it under the base also. Die is aging/clashing and abrading its life away. It happens. Report this Post to the Staff
