Mrf2254 New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 02/10/2020 1:15 pm I've looked at this coin several dozen times and can't tell what the object might be, if anything. I tried to take some detailed pics. Any help would be appreciated! Maggie Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7080 Posts	Posted 02/10/2020 1:21 pm In most cases when it affects the rim...IMO it's PMD (post mint damage) to CCF Report this Post to the Staff

The problem I see is that both sides of the coin are affected. Which means the "object" would either have to wrap around the coin or it is indeed PMD. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/10/2020 3:57 pm How can we tell it was done post strike? Look at the outside edge of the coin. Note the affected area extends outwards on the edge? That tells it was done after the strike. If it happened during the strike that outer edge would be totally normal. Its not, so it was damaged after the strike. Report this Post to the Staff

Mrf2254 New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 02/11/2020 7:13 pm Thank you for the responses. I tried to upload full pictures of the coin but was unable to get the images under 300 KB, even with the help of the Optimizer. I will take a look at the tutorials and try again tomorrow.
