gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 11/02/2021 10:34 pm I was wondering if this PMD. Looking at the devices on the reverse they do not look affected by the incuse mark. It looks like the coin was pinched by something but if damage it looks strange, I would think the devices would have been damaged. Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 11/02/2021 11:50 pm I agree it's strange that the design is unaffected, but the fact that the rim is crushed makes me believe it's PMD rather than a strike through. can you get a shot of the edge? Report this Post to the Staff
gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 11/03/2021 12:11 am Thanks @Adam E, here they are. Whatever pinched it is about half the size of a toothpick. Edited by gsp193 11/03/2021 12:23 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/03/2021 11:03 am Looks like a wire cutter was used. The first clue that it was altered? 1. The outside edge is pushed outwards on the affected area. The metal would be circular on the outside edge. When squeezed, the metal have to move to a new location. Thus the hernia on the edge on that area. 2. Note both sides are showing a push inwards at the same location. It is was a struck through it would only show on one side of the coin. This was pressed downwards on both sides. Screaming fake to a coin collector. Report this Post to the Staff
