HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25327 Posts	Posted 09/19/2023 10:18 pm Not an error. If it was a "struck through" error, the damage would be to one side only. This is PMD. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 09/20/2023 4:04 pm to the CCF One thing to learn is, if you have a gouge, dent, scratch, or another mark that has corresponding pushing up of metal, 99% of the time it's just damage. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMonster New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 05/05/2024 6:23 pm Aside from the snips being used on your coin, on the reverse, it looks like some Epoxy glue got on the coin under the building, and then another coin got pressed on it, creating an image that looks like a "Die Clash". It's not a real die clash ... but a Post Mint Damage thing. Looks like a real mint error, but it's not. A few months ago I found a coin just like yours, only more pronounced. Thought I had a thousand dollar penny, only to find out it was an Epoxy glue penny. It looks raised on the coin field, almost like some gum is on it, but it's Epoxy.
