This doesn't look like PMD to me, because outside the device isn't affected. Has anyone seen one like this or know what caused it?    |

Are you looking at the center bottom of the steps?  |

Mark, I have seen this a lot coin roll hunting, but not exactly sure what it is. Maybe an area that got filled with grease?

ANACS accepts a minimum of five when you send in modern coins. Right now, I need to find two more worth sending in, think it'd be worth it to send this one and have them research it?

Not worth sending in. I have seen a lot of them. I think it is mostly circulation wear. John1  |

This IS NOT AN ERROR! (And yes moderators I AM YELLING! Sheesh. It is a Grease Fill, a very common point where when wiping off the dieface after a polish, it catches there. May have been a deep clash as well. Sorry, I get very irritated by this massive idea to have to "send it in", especially if and when it is stated to NOT be an error. It costs lots, dearly in fact to certify a coin, it does cost to have coins attributed as well. You best be sure it is worth the costs. Unfortunately 99.9% of error coins are not. Their values are minimal, the market is small, and the gullible are easily played. Rant over, for the moment.... Edited by Crazyb0

Grease filled dies, as well as die cracks and Cuds, are not errors but die states. That is to say the die was fine when it was made and then, after use, it wasn't nice and new anymore. Coins made by the old, worn die are just a little less perfect than those made by the nice new die. I think you should keep searching for a true error or die variety before paying for a slab. Evwn then, it only pays to do it if you have a really rare variety or a really high grade coin. |

Not only the lower steps, but moving upwards as well. It is common to see a bit of deformation opposite the bust, which tends to be a resource hog when struck. Thanks, Doug.

Easy there jarhead, lol.  To be honest, I can't tell what it is from the pics. They are too out of focus/small. It reminds me of weak strikes on Jefferson nickel reverses that cause the same effect. I can't say I've seen too many LMCs like that, but maybe that's because I wasn't looking at the steps. It could be a weak strike, die polishing, Grease Fill, two of those or all three.  No matter the cause, I agree that submitting it for grading/attribution would be a waste of money.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
