At first I thought maybe die clash but after seeing the pictures, I am leaning toward PMD as that is what seems to make more sense to me. What do you all think? Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10504 Posts	Posted 03/05/2024 7:22 pm Ok, after a longer look - this picture of yours made me a bit more interested. This can actually be Feeder Finger Damage? Or just a linear plating bubble or like E&V stated - Pareidolia. But in reality the coin is toast and has no value over 1¢. Nice eye for noticing that.
