radatat Valued Member United States 492 Posts	Posted 02/03/2021 6:55 pm Yep MO I can see your argument. So you think this is PMD and the piece of metal came loose from the rim damage and stuck permanently on the face of the coin. I am not sure how that happens without heat being involved but the outline of the item matches the damaged area. Report this Post to the Staff

Me too, except that I bet you could pick off that little scrap of silver with a dental pick if you wanted (of course no reason to).

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 02/03/2021 8:44 pm We have seen this happen on other coins, many times on a number. The "Y" in your Half took an external hit that broke the letter. Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4396 Posts	Posted 02/03/2021 10:29 pm A piece of metal from the rim was pushed up off the rim then folded over onto the face of the coin. No metal came fully loose, it's clearly still attached. Still PMD tho. Report this Post to the Staff
