Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 12/29/2023 9:39 pm Yes an in-focus closeup pic of the date would help, but I'm guessing that the second and third digits are the same, so 1990 D.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74189 Posts	Posted 12/29/2023 9:49 pm Might be a 1990 D. It's been grinded/sanded down, on the obverse. PMD. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 12/30/2023 05:38 am PMD Probably worth less than 5 Cents, - I doubt if it would pass a coin counting / sorting machine. Report this Post to the Staff

Any suggestions would be great try using an android phone - they take much better images. However, on this coin, it looks like it is just damage, so getting the date in a mute point in my opinion.

Moodi76 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 01/28/2024 12:30 am I hope these images are better Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6505 Posts	Posted 01/28/2024 01:05 am Much better pictures. 1990 P or D. Probably D? The lettering looks crushed or smeared. It still exists faintly and stretched out in the smooth area. I don't think a sander or grinder would do that. What does the coin weigh, to two decimal places? That would tell you if the material was removed completely versus just displaced on the surface. Either way, it does seem damaged. Anybody know of an obscure minting problem that leaves a flattened ring on only one side? I'm thinking encased by a machine was a good bet. Report this Post to the Staff
