forme772 New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 05/03/2025 09:16 am I also want to say that the date looks to be doubled and I showed it to my adult son and he could not move the object Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24939 Posts	Posted 05/03/2025 10:09 am It looks like metal has been moved upward so I'm thinking it's a gouge. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73688 Posts	Posted 05/03/2025 12:18 pm I'm thinking a gouge from PMD. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 05/03/2025 4:07 pm As far as DDO....I think what you are seeing is zinc rot/split plating which is going to get worse as time goes by. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 05/03/2025 10:30 pm I'm thinking a circulation with relocated metal, as Hondo stated. Collecting since 1972.

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 6997 Posts	Posted 05/04/2025 4:54 pm Safe to spend....doubling on date? On the 8 and 7 "doubling" is "slidding" towards the rim, that Die Deterioration Doubling (very common) means die was wearing out. Thing on the steps is IMO a gouge PMD Report this Post to the Staff
forme772 New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 05/05/2025 12:04 am Thank you for the information. I had read that a new coil person would think that anything would be a mistake They were right. I am learning something new. Thanks again. I though it was a strike threw Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6458 Posts	Posted 05/05/2025 5:06 pm Quote: I though it was a strike thru When a coin is struck through an object, the cavity is generally flush to the coin surface. The force of the hard steel die pressing into the planchet surface prevents metal from being raised. Generally, raised metal next to the indentation indicates a ding from post-mint damage. Raised metal without an indentation or scrape could be a die chip or gouge. Lack of raised metal is for small strike-through errors. Large errors can have all sorts of appearances because the coin surface is so deformed. Proof nickel struck through a thread. Report this Post to the Staff
