Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74338 Posts	Posted 01/18/2019 10:25 pm I think that this is just damage, but I want to see what the other members think. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 01/18/2019 10:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/19/2019 03:01 am I think it is metal from the outer rim that has folded over onto the field. Damage doesn't look like that. This is extra metal being where it is not supposed to be. There is an outer taper/bevel on the rim that corresponds to the location of this extra peel. More pics would help, though.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/19/2019 05:12 am I agree with spruett001,except that if you weigh it it would not weigh more than normal. Not extra metal,normal amount of metal just moved around. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3652 Posts	Posted 01/19/2019 1:36 pm I don't see anything on the obverse that would suggest this is PMD. From the reverse photos, the edge near this appears to have taken a knock, and it shows a slight camber, but not nearly enough to explain the embedded / added metal. The relative lack of damage to the rim, corner of Monticello, the "A" and mint mark also suggests this occurred during the minting process. Really interesting coin! Report this Post to the Staff
