I think it's a lamination, and a major one at that :thumb: It appears most of it is retained, but a piece in the right-obverse field has...
My gut says PMD, but it could be some sort of strike-through error (likely through grease). I don't think it was struck through a die cap.
lol
No, it's not an RPD What you're seeing is die erosion
Yeah, you should really make this a one-post-per-user contest... Because these guys above me are just gonna keep shooting fish in a barrel ;)

The only experiences I've heard have all ended in disappointment... That's not to say they all will, but just having heard what I've heard keeps...
It appears to be a large cent... :D That's about all I can tell you from the provided pics
I've gotta admit, that actually makes a lot of sense... But I still don't endorse sniping software :D I prefer inflicting emotional distress on...
Oh, and I really like that O.119 in the OP :) Looks AU50-ish. Here's my PCGS 40 of the same die marriage for comparison. [ATTACH][ATTACH]
