Akkdayam Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 07/21/2021 11:43 pm it looks like PMD because not only is the t partly faded off but the coin looks pretty scratched up. but imma leave it up to the pros. Report this Post to the Staff
Bumpkin Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 07/22/2021 12:19 am Your Quarter does exhibit a lot of PMD as evidenced by the obvious nicks, dents and dings shown on the obverse. However, the barely visible T and I in IN GOD WE TRUST are most likely caused by a partially Grease Filled Die and not PMD. How do I know? Look at the rim of the coin adjacent to these letters. It is completely still intact and does not show any signs of PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
