mitchhailey Pillar of the Community United States 1150 Posts	Posted 06/17/2011 10:30 pm Great photo! I wish I could get pics like that. However, Buggs, that looks like probable post mint damage ( PMD) to me. Edited by mitchhailey 06/17/2011 10:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

lukkyseven Pillar of the Community United States 880 Posts	Posted 06/18/2011 10:04 am Ah I stand corrected. I thought there was a chance it was a planchet flaw. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15457 Posts	Posted 06/19/2011 4:25 pm IMHO this 1943-S Jefferson grades VG8 ... and the 'split' in the 3 of the date is damage that occurred while circulating for all these years. Agreed that the damage happened many years ago ... the coin has re-toned well over the affected area ... but it is still PMD.

buggs Valued Member United States 158 Posts	Posted 06/25/2011 10:55 am I have asked myself what could have caused that damage to the 3 digit in circulation over the years in that very specific tiny area. Any thoughts? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
