mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2955 Posts	Posted 12/07/2021 6:29 pm I found this coin roll hunting, and is bright and lustrous but looks worn down. I am also not ruling out struck thru grease, since the hair details in the head are mostly gone, and there is clear flatness in some areas on the reverse. I have compared this to a 2015-P nickel for comparison. If this is PMD, then it don't look like it since the luster is still intact .

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8750 Posts	Posted 12/07/2021 8:00 pm I agree that this is a VLDS die that probably have been put down before now. Jefferson looks like he would if he were still alive. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2955 Posts	Posted 12/07/2021 8:08 pm I was leaving my 2 biggest possibilities out there, either Grease Filled Die or extreme die wear consistent with VLDS dies. After looking at it more, it is definitely not a PMD event; it has cartwheel luster both sides. I felt this one could go either way, but not necessarily both at once which is not likely.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/08/2021 12:31 pm Looks like the worst of both worlds. DDD and Some Grease Fill. Still not a premium for the coin. Just an educational piece to a new collector or a spender. The coin is in your hands. Report this Post to the Staff
