ElizabethaN New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/26/2021 3:33 pm I found it while cleaning the room I'm moving into (ten straight hours of grueling work yielded a Danish cookie jar full of pennies). I can't find anything similar online but I stumbled upon this forum during my search. Any insight on to what happened to this to make it look the way it does? Report this Post to the Staff

ElizabethaN New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/26/2021 8:13 pm I guess I must be A PMD collector. I find a lot of these oddly beat up pennies. This one looked so shiny otherwise, pretty contrast. Is there a section for PMD specifically? I have a lot of cool ones. I tend to like them more than errors. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 98306 Posts	Posted 07/26/2021 9:07 pm Looks like it was sanded down by a belt sander.. Notice that the scratches are linear and parallel to one another, not swirled as you would expect from a orbital sander or grinder Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
