Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 02/08/2018 9:02 pm Yeah sorry @versus, but I'm only seeing damage (looks like a series of little tick marks) around the date. However, I don't see them reaching the bottom rim, so maybe I'm missing something. Oh and sorry about the snarky 3rd eye comment--I couldn't resist.

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12817 Posts	Posted 02/09/2018 01:18 am Versus! If it's incuse (i.e., scratches or negative space on the face of the coin) then it's definitely PMD. If the area in question is RAISED off the fields, then you may have an argument for a die crack. However, die cracks in my experience aren't circular-ish as this anomaly appears to be. This is possibly old damage from a coin rolling machine. Report this Post to the Staff
