HackerJC Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 01/10/2026 09:24 am Hello and thanks in advance for the help. I came across this wheat with a massive hit on the reverse. It bent the coin even. My guess is this is post mint damage but I thought I be sure before I toss this in the wheat bag. Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21589 Posts	Posted 01/10/2026 09:27 am Correct, it is PMD, toss it in the wheat bag. No way for that to happen when the coin was struck. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8733 Posts	Posted 01/10/2026 10:00 am I agree with JimmyD, PMD and also looks like it may have been previously encased, from the looks of the smooth edge of the coin. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

The dots are elongated I think. https://doubleddie.com/805118.html Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

donnie59 Pillar of the Community United States 780 Posts	Posted 01/11/2026 1:56 pm I agree with Dearborn. The lack of damage that would be associated with this indentation makes me wonder if it is truly PMD. Perhaps 80 years of circulation could have erased any traces of metal movement, but with an indentation that large on the Reverse I find it somewhat improbable there wouldn't be bulge on the Obverse.

HackerJC Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 01/11/2026 3:01 pm Thanks, all... there is definitely a bulge or indentation you can feel and is visible on the obv. I tried to depict this in the side angle shot of coin but perhaps it isn't evident there. Report this Post to the Staff
