TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 08/09/2021 09:43 am Can you help confirm or deny that this is some sort of PMD. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 08/09/2021 09:46 am Certainly PMD since the coin has been taken out of round by the pressure indicating that the weirdness took place after the retaining collar was removed. Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 08/09/2021 10:16 am There is nothing in the minting process that would make something like this - hence PMD.

Kcm Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 08/09/2021 10:41 am Not the least bit confident in my conjecture, but it looks to me like a lead bullet struck the coin. The unspent energy in such a bullet would spend itself as heat, enough heat to fuse the bullet to the coin. Kevin Edited by Kcm 08/09/2021 10:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/09/2021 10:41 am PMD for sure. Bit of solder on the reverse? Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19158 Posts	Posted 08/09/2021 11:35 am Post strike damage, certainly. Intense heat applied for a moment might have been a contributing factor. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 08/09/2021 1:28 pm I agree with all of the above, and I think Coinfrog hit on something, it does look like some solder on the reverse. Definitely post mint damage ( PMD) regardless how it was done. Report this Post to the Staff
