blank page Valued Member United States 91 Posts	Posted 04/24/2022 08:54 am I almost went right past this, but the center of the P doesn't show the line, and it should if it is damage since it would be the raised area. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/24/2022 09:02 am Looks like PMD to me. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
blank page Valued Member United States 91 Posts	Posted 04/24/2022 09:39 am That was my initial thought, but if the P is incuse, why isn't it on the raised portion in the middle? Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21626 Posts	Posted 04/24/2022 11:16 am Can't see it being PMD when it is in the recessed area. Looks like E,L ,U are also slightly affected. Possibly a die dent. Report this Post to the Staff
blank page Valued Member United States 91 Posts	Posted 04/24/2022 11:21 am I was thinking the E, L, and U were just Die Deterioration. It seems pretty consistent all the way around. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/24/2022 11:23 am I guess it could be damage to the die if so, there are going to be a lot of them. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
