Found this 1993 Lincoln Cent, with an obvious PMD in a bank roll with the form of a planchet clip by medal cutter of some sort? Anyway, here are 5 pics to show the damage. Regards and let me know your thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 05/25/2023 3:56 pm I am not sure this it is PMD. The traces of Cu, the zinc clip has normal structure of a crack Zn texture. I think as a big crack planchet which detach before the strike. Edited by silviosi 05/25/2023 3:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 05/25/2023 5:03 pm Silvio, are you saying the clip happened after punching and plating, and before striking? Seems hard to believe that if it was a straight fault line that there would be some plating that seeped into the crack. Looks to me like it was cut after it left the mint.
