[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 2577282, member: 21705"]I believe you are right about the reverse being the same, the spec at the 3 being PMD or foreign material on the coin. But the oddity at the tip of the 5 is more likely to be from a strike issue with it's surface matching the field. The rub is certainly post mint. There is also a die crack running diagonally across the tip of the 5 to the star above E and then down to the star below E on both examples.[/QUOTE]
