Chagen222 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 05/14/2022 11:36 pm I was going to write this off as PMD but I noticed the features, especially on the reverse, don't seem to be impacted by the damage. I figure if it was dragged across something to cause gauges the lettering would be destroyed. So, I don't know if this is a mint error or PMD. Report this Post to the Staff

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 05/15/2022 12:36 am Definitely some kind of environmental damage, possibly buried in acidic soil. It could be a woody but with the shape it's in I'd call it a spender. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19237 Posts	Posted 05/15/2022 06:36 am I'm thinking woody characteristics emphasized through exposure to a rather harsh, corrosive environment (such as being buried). Report this Post to the Staff
