Dad_Ohs New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 05/02/2024 7:08 pm I know there is something there, couldn't say for sure but, to me anyways, looks more like die wear than a chip/cud. But, again, I 'm looking for the opinion of others to help. This is the 'D' in Canada shown from 3 different angles to help with shadows. I know its not the prettiest coin out there, but I check them all. Thanks again!! Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 05/02/2024 7:43 pm Full coin pics would be helpful. It could be what is called "mortar set" on these war era coins, the chrome plating on the die is chipping away. Are you sure the coin isn't rusting from the inside out? Scratch some with a tooth pick. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 05/02/2024 7:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Scratch some with a tooth pick. I wish I could get a larger picture but as I am using a microscope I can't get any real detail on a full size picture. I tried to scrape it as you suggested but the tip just seemed to bounce off it. There is some rust on the coin close to but now touching the 'D'. I'll post a pic from my phone... best I can do.

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 05/02/2024 10:28 pm Unfortunately that's a heavily rusted coin. Face value. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
