RollHunter Pillar of the Community United States 687 Posts	Posted 08/12/2010 01:21 am Okay here's another one I pulled from the rolls about a month back. Much worse shape than the curved clip - I originally thought it was PMD but now I'm second guessing myself so I thought I'd solicit opinions: Outer edge of the "clip" Opposite edge of the "clip" Evidence for: * Slightly weaker rim about 160 degrees around the coin (not quite opposite "clip"). Hard to see in my horrible pictures but it's definitely there. * STATE looks weaker than UNITED and OF Evidence against: * The location conveniently follows the bottom bust line * parallel scratches on the clip's edge * slightly upset "rim" along the "clip" ... burr from a file? * coin is pretty worn so it's hard to tell if the evidence for is really there * who finds two of these a month apart? Opinions? Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 08/12/2010 05:14 am I have an Australian aluminum bronze $2 coin much the same as yours. In this case, the planchet was punched at the end of the rolled strip, and so was subsequently fed into the press, resulting in the segmental straight edge. Report this Post to the Staff

I think I even see the grinding lines on the flat at the edge. i think I would be trying to find the Blakesley effect, I don't know much about the planchet punches, but every shear I have ever seen has a slight angle to it, no matter how straight up and down it may seem to the naked eye Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 08/12/2010 08:22 am Although I said that I have an end of strip planchet, those fine line lines on the flat edge area I must admit, DO look like PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
DylansDad Valued Member United States 476 Posts	Posted 08/12/2010 2:21 pm I'd say PMD as well. Sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/13/2010 03:48 am Images of the reverse area where the UNUM is might help? If the devices are strong to the area in question, then it was PMD. If the devices including the rim is fading it might be real. So an close up image of the area might be the biggest help right now. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...0Clipped.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...llar_001.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ped_half.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ped_Cent.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
RollHunter Pillar of the Community United States 687 Posts	Posted 08/13/2010 8:58 pm Those are about the best pics I can get with my cruddy equipment, but it looks to me like it's for sure PMD as I originally thought. Thanks for the confirmation everyone! Report this Post to the Staff
