Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74279 Posts	Posted 07/30/2023 01:34 am I am think acid damage. PMD. You should study up on errors on error-ref.com. That way you won't get stuck on finding damaged coins. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25270 Posts	Posted 07/30/2023 03:51 am Always ask yourself: "Is there any way that this coin could have left the mint looking like this?" If the answer is "No", the only option remaining is post-mint damage. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19159 Posts	Posted 07/30/2023 08:14 am Would like to se the coin in-hand--of course, that won't happen. Wondering if there might have been a lamination/exfoliation issue at one point in the distant past. Just wondering. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96315 Posts	Posted 07/30/2023 08:46 am a rotten, degraded, acid washed cent. Many things could have happened here, but it is not an error - just PMD.
