Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 10/18/2017 06:37 am It looks to me like PMD from having something dropped on it. Why? Because I can see the displaced metal to the left and below the ding. Not that sphere thingee--not sure what that is...

trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 10/18/2017 11:16 am Maybe this could be a strike through error where there was a bit of debris on the blank or the die when the coin was struck that caused this hole. The hole is also a very odd shape for a simple hit, So maybe this isn't PMD after all. Report this Post to the Staff
Basil Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 10/18/2017 6:51 pm Yeah,usually a bit of foreign debris on the Die or a fault in the blank when the depression is clean and the surrounding area is pristine. Just my opinion,you can never be sure. Report this Post to the Staff
Ruby4321 New Member Australia 10 Posts	Posted 10/19/2017 03:46 am Thank you all for the input. It's just the way it seems to follow the ear that caught my interest. Likely PMD. Then an opportunity to learn something. Think I'll hold onto it anyway as it won't even get me half a cup of coffee nowadays. Report this Post to the Staff
