drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 04/20/2021 10:22 pm I'm thinking this might be PMD, but then again, this rim "issue" is in the same spot as most Cuds on 1959-D (although this is a 1959-P). Also wondering what happened on the obverse upper left where some zinc appears to show through. A couple of edge shots: Report this Post to the Staff

drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 04/20/2021 10:34 pm Thanks Coop. I know it wasn't copper plated zinc, I was just wondering if the bronze (5% Zn) had something wonky going on there. Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 04/20/2021 10:50 pm NO, the alloy has nothing to do with your coin. Seem to be altered after strike. I do not see no symptoms of alloy or planchet defaults. Also in the first and fifth photos you can see some molding alloys on the coin. Sorry no strike error or variety. Keep search, one day you will find. Report this Post to the Staff
