La_isla Valued Member 55 Posts	Posted 03/17/2022 09:50 am Checked DDO 1 - DDO 9 and didn't find anything that looked like this. Looks to me like a defective or deteriorating die. Though this coin was found in circulation and has some wear and PMD the East to West raised section of the 2nd lower leg of number 9 doesn't appear to be PMD. Has anyone seen anything like this? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/17/2022 12:04 pm Looks like the obverse die was over polished and made the devices shorter/narrowed. Probably the reverse was also polished as well. Note the weakening on the nose/brow and the back of the neck. The dies were probably Feeder Finger Damage.

La_isla Valued Member 55 Posts	Posted 03/17/2022 5:24 pm Thanks for the feedback. I'm leaning more to internal die or chip damage as it would be a more reasonable assumption than PMD. This deformation isn't gouging, denting or moving of struck metal from one place to another. I just don't see how the addition of metal, configured as this is, could be the result of PMD. I may be wrong but don't associate PMD with addition of material to the coin. Is it possible this is a retained interior Cud? Also, the tapering of the lower serif of the 2 in 1972 to a point is not consistent with any of the 1972 die I've researched. Report this Post to the Staff
