Atache Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Looking for opinions on cause of error and value of coin and should I grade or not grade? The "W" in God "W"e Trust appears on die chip. Edited August 31, 2019 by Atache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Not an error, it's PMD. Looks like it has been squeezed with something. Would not be gradeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion only if it was pressed via a pair of pliers or a vise of some sort the deepest point would be flat and not leaving "W' impressed so clearly.

Greenstang Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 It was squeezed by something that had a pattern. It is impossible for a coin struck with the collar on to be out of round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Bob Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 A die chip would leave a raised area on the surface of the coin, not a sunk-in area. Your coin has been damaged by something. The "W" was raised above the coin's surface enough that even the damage could not obliterate it entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
