moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 02/19/2018 1:28 pm I'll be honest and tell you I have no clue, but I will subscribe to see if there is an answer. Usually something like that is from corrosion (this isn't) or acid (couldn't be in "waves"), or intentional damage (who knows how?). I can't imagine any way that could occur, really. Maybe someone will pose a righteous answer. Report this Post to the Staff

UglyCoins Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 02/23/2018 07:13 am hi the only thing about this if it was PMD is why is the penny smaller thinner and weights almost a gram under weight? Report this Post to the Staff
