coinhusker26 Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 11/04/2023 10:34 am Found this 83 D today with an extra D above the date and tilted. Upon looking closer there seems to be the outline of Lincoln's face twisted as well with his coat jacket going down into the date and around his lips. Not sure what happened but definitely not PMD imo Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 11/04/2023 1:08 pm Sometimes it is a bitter pill to swallow when you think you have something and the experts on this site tell you otherwise. I agree with the others that this is PMD. Please don't get offended and learn from the wisdom of those on this site. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96317 Posts	Posted 11/04/2023 7:46 pm looks like heat was applied to that area - maybe from a hot soldering iron? Collecting since 1972.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 11/05/2023 12:48 am Zinc rot. Eventually it will eat the whole coin. The blister is where it started, then it spreads out from there. Report this Post to the Staff
