SomeGoodCents Valued Member United States 238 Posts	Posted 10/17/2016 11:48 am I got back into hobby for fun and part time business. Spotted this one in a 5,000ct bag several years ago. Just been holding onto it..... junk or worth holding? Report this Post to the Staff

It transferred the devices to you coin in only one area. If they were all transferred then I would suspect a vise was used. But this was done outside the mint. PSD.

SomeGoodCents Valued Member United States 238 Posts	Posted 10/17/2016 4:34 pm Coop: thanks PMD was indeed my exact thoughts. Had to be sandwiched between two pennies was my first impression. Coin Collector 2000: I actually have several tubes of "odd Coins". I have been putting them aside for years. Many are probably nothing more then PMD examples. Once I find those tubes I will study them and ask you all to grace me with your vast knowledge on the more perplexing examples. Its great to be back, thank you all so very much.
