jonathan305 New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 12/27/2017 1:24 pm Guys, thanks for the input and welcome! Glad to digitally be here. Here's another angle to show the clipped area in question—I apologize for not including this data. Zinc would show through if the PMD was a scrape, right? However, there's no visible zinc. The area has copper plating uniform with the rest of the coin surface. Edited by jonathan305 12/28/2017 09:37 am Report this Post to the Staff

This occurred before the plating process, which is of course before the minting process.

Slamnbass Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 12/28/2017 1:31 pm I'm not convinced on this one. I think the reverse rim shows rubbing/friction that occurred when the obverse damage happened. Zinc wouldn't necasasrily have to show through if the plating wasn't broken and metal was pushed over during the scraping of the coin. Can't see the damaged area in question looking like that after the plating process and all force from the dies during the strike. Color of the area in question is consistent with PMD also Report this Post to the Staff

It would have to be a hit, not a scrape. The plating is too thin to not show any damage from a scrape that deep and an impact would show some sort of flattening or damage on the other side.
