CobaltCoin63 Valued Member United States 89 Posts	Posted 06/29/2025 6:00 pm I'm trying to determine if this is PMD or something that happened at the mint. The diagonal part of the 7 on the date looks like something hit it and moved part of it over but the moved part seems to be securely attached to the plating. I don't see a huge depression where the metal may have been damaged and shifted. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25102 Posts	Posted 06/29/2025 6:08 pm Definitely PMD - a circulation hit on the 7. Quote: securely attached to the plating These coins are solid bronze, not plated like zincolns.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73978 Posts	Posted 06/29/2025 6:20 pm Just PMD. Nothing in the minting process would cause this. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 06/29/2025 7:57 pm @cob, seeing that some of the metal from the number 7 has been "smeared" is a really good indicator that this is just damage. You'll start to recognize this as you look at more coins.
