1936 ?

I got this year's ago, threw it in a 2 by and marked it as a 1936 ? As in p d or s. Now looking closer, is all of it cause by grease filled die? Or double die. Or pmd

Looks like PMD - Post Mint Damage
Could of been dipped in acid which would give it that effect.

 

By the way.. The correct numismatic terminology is Doubled Die.. not double die. Big difference.

 

Darn auto correct. Lol

 

If it was acid, wouldn't the color be dark? The obverse side is still the original color, more so than the reverse.

 

It looks like it was corroded and then cleaned with an electric wire brush,
due to the waves on the reverse. Acid will usually turn a copper coin to a lighter color if it is aloud to make contact with bare metal.

 

This is the best do far. And I appreciate all the info. What ever happened, it's cool enough for me to keep.

 

Not a double die. This was caused by a wire brush, as said above.

 

I have this that is a bit similar.

I like to keep this for reference.
