Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 04/29/2022 6:37 pm I think we need to see the reverse of this coin too. To see if there are any bumps in the same locations at seen on the obverse. But it looks like a center punch and hammer or something was taken to task on this coin. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

ckoser1 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 04/29/2022 6:51 pm The metal looks like it was melted and the holes are very tiny. There are no bumps on the back. The metal is raised around the hole. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 04/29/2022 9:38 pm That is what I thought too - melted maybe a very hot soldering iron pushed into the surface, displacing the material. That would explain why there is no bumps on the reverse (thanks for the pictures though - very helpful) I'll stick by PMD (post mint damage) by means unknown. Collecting since 1972.

ckoser1 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 04/30/2022 12:59 am This is what I found. https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-c...es-vary.html I am pretty sure it was part of the minting process. Report this Post to the Staff

Which of the seven issues described in that article are you thinking accounts for what we are seeing on your Sac? Remember, any depression (dent, chip, crack, pit, etc.) on a die will result in a raised area on the coin. I have to agree with the others. All I am seeing is displaced metal from PMD. Keep searching. The hunt is part of the fun. Report this Post to the Staff
