CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 12/30/2018 8:15 pm Hello. I'm not sure what caused this, whether it was a sander or something else but it is PMD and not an error.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74770 Posts	Posted 12/30/2018 8:19 pm Not an error at all. It was done after it left the U.S. Mint, so I's Post Strike Damage ( PSD). This is impossible and it can't happen at the Mint. It was sanded down probably with a belt grinder, explaining why the weight has been reduced. (Normal weight is 2.5 grams.) Errers and Varietys.
