<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1444140, member: 21705&quot;]I don&#039;t see anything other than Post Mint wear and damage. Copper is a relatively soft metal and a little early damage can cause some &#039;flow&#039; of copper. It is often seen on worn early dates where spacing doesn&#039;t seem quite right, but die breaks confirm attribution of a known variety. After further wear, the traces of this early damage may completely disappear. </p><p><br /></p><p>While this is not definative, it is more likely than actual die wear unless other coins with the same characteristics can be found. The same oddness on a higher grade coin could reduce the chances of such early PMD and increase the probability of it being die related.</p><p><br /></p><p>But you have the coin in hand. Just be honest with yourself about PMD possibilities.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
