jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3154 Posts	Posted 05/14/2019 5:33 pm didn't win this coin but I am unsure if the reverse has a Cud and die crack or PMD? Could not find examples of other coins this year with this. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1838-Coron...43663.l10137 Edited by jerryc39 05/14/2019 7:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3323 Posts	Posted 05/14/2019 5:58 pm I believe this was an attempt at creating a "brothel coin," a popular form of PMD in the mid-1800s. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73747 Posts	Posted 05/14/2019 10:32 pm Nope. Just Post Strike Damage ( PSD) Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/15/2019 4:35 pm Not a crack or Cud, and I don't think it is PSD either. Looks like a folded over lamination. The lump is clearly where the metal has been folded back over (same shape and the depressed area) but it isn't damage from where something hit it because the denticals in the recessed area are not damaged but do show the weakness commonly seen from being struck through a layer of metal that is no longer there. As is typically see where a lamination has peeled off or a clad layer missing post strike on a modern clad coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 05/15/2019 7:06 pm I do not think this is PMD...I do see the strike of the UNITE"D" over the line/fold...meaning the fold was there first. KK Report this Post to the Staff
