levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 03/26/2022 7:02 pm hello all, went to a LCS and purchased this. dealer explains to me that it was PMD and how it could have happened. he said that it may have gotten stuck in a machine being grounded down and then hit with a hammer to dislodge it. i said ok... (i really need to research the minting process) i am still trying to figure out how it got like this. thanks for viewing/commenting Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 03/26/2022 7:50 pm @lom, I agree this is damage. My thinking is that in order for this coin to have reeding, it must have been struck in the collar. The only possible reason for that flat region is that the coin was squished after it was struck.
