SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 04/30/2020 7:13 pm I don't think so, difficult to tell with the beautiful toning. But no, I don't see grey popping out at me. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/01/2020 09:44 am Note on your last image, if you rotate the are in question, 180 degrees,, it would fit into that area. It looks like to me, it is moved metal. Possibly still attached? Report this Post to the Staff
SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 05/01/2020 09:54 am Oh how interesting yes I can see that as a possibility. So should I take this as a die gouge, or just PMD? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/01/2020 10:10 am Look to see if you can see under it? It so, then it is coin damage. But you might want to save it as an education piece to show to a new collector? Report this Post to the Staff
SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 05/01/2020 10:15 am Thank you Coop, nope I can't see under it. However there is some zinc rot by the looks of it to the south-east of the gouge. Not for sure if that is relevant in anyway. Report this Post to the Staff
