I guess I was agreeing with you agreeing with me.. We are on the same page, same book too. Quote: Looks like welding or brazing spatter. No matter how you look at it, it's PMD no I don't stink it is 'spatter' from brazing or welding. If it were, there would be more spalling and little semi round balls of solidified molten metal not a smear like peanut butter on bread... but it could be PMD or it could be die damage at this point.

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 12/07/2021 9:45 pm Weight as I said before would you help, the OP is the one with the coin in hand and agree an acetone soak could also help. Since the rim seems to be effected as well I'm leaning towards glue or something else on the coin. Edited by Wrekkdd 12/07/2021 9:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5772 Posts	Posted 12/08/2021 08:28 am The last image seems to show some dark opaque "splatter" or drops on the base of the right wheat. Seems like resin, glue, or sap to me. A soak in acetone might reveal what it is. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/08/2021 11:49 am Note how on ONE, the tops of the devices are affected? To affect the depth of the die that much I would expect that all the devices would be affected like that. But not on the top of the 'N'? You can see a lamination peel there. So I feel this is a struck through issue on the coin. If so the weight could be close to normal. On a lamination it would be affected a bit deeper on the surface. So I feel something thin uneven desbris was struck onto the coin and some areas peeled, leaving the raised high spots and the parts of it has not fallen off the coin yet. The obverse on the date, note the wear pattern is in the opposite direction as normal die wear? These dies had the large rims on the coins and this happened different on the older wide time dies: Report this Post to the Staff
