PMD or Grease Filled Die? Thoughts? Also has anyone ever rescued a penny like this before? I know cleaning is a sin and all, just curious. Thank you! -GB Report this Post to the Staff

If you come across a coin of value that needs rescuing (this one doesn't) you could try Verdicare on it. PM CCF member BadThad for more details. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 10/01/2020 04:45 am It looks like a Grease Fill to me, but the overall condition is unfortunate. It might be a good coin to expirement on, but I don't think there's much to be gained.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/01/2020 7:37 pm It is also affecting 'IN' as well. Note how the width of the IN is larger and with the 'G' missing it is telling me that the Grease Fill was on the 'G' device and the other other two are partly filled on the deeper part of the die altering the other two devices: Report this Post to the Staff
