Mrichter830 Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 2:37 pm I came across this quarter this morning with a weird anomaly on the obverse. It could be PMD but the reason I question that is because it seems to be behind the L and not over it. But it does look like it goes over the I so I really don't know and am having trouble finding something similar. I thought maybe die attrition but that doesn't seem right after looking into it. It I only on the obverse also. Reverse looks normal. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19129 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 3:54 pm Suggest not throwing the laptop. Yes, does have the look of a gritty grease strikethrough. Wondering... Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6473 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 9:09 pm If it were acid, then I assume you mean deliberately. It doesn't seem likely that an indiscriminate coat of acid would selectively eat the field and leave the lettering untouched. The anomaly seems lower than the field. Possibly a rough or uneven planchet, below the reach of the die strike? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 9:27 pm It could be acid, if placed by a dropper on the fields. then it would not affect the higher devices. but I don't think it was acid, It could be struch through gritty grease, but there are linear lines or a pattern to it. could it be a small piece of cloth?

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6473 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 9:56 pm ERef lists rolled through cloth errors for planchets, but those are typically obliterated by the strike, and only really visible on off center strikes. How would the L form correctly but the background is untouched? What about a lamination flake? Not enough to get down to the core, but just enough to be below where the strike would flatten the field? The coin does look either worn or weakly struck. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 10:03 pm Quote: below the reach of the die strike with the amount of pressure used on each strike, the die will reach the fields. This is how the device elements are formed - the die presses down on the entire surface of the planchet - that pressure moved the metal around and it moves up into the voids of the die. If by chance that there were metal missing or a thin planchet. the die would still reach the fields, but there would not be enough metal to fill the voids, and thus a weak strike.
