<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 3277368, member: 99642&quot;]I try to remind people to search better coins, to search cleaner coins, so that you can really tell what you&#039;re looking at. For example, search your pocket change when you break a bill. Heck , search your bills. There&#039;s oddities to be found there also.</p><p><br /></p><p>But....to address this coin......in my <i>non-expert</i> opinion.....what you have here simply appears to be PMD, Post Mint Damage. When I look at the filled in 6, I see just crud filling it in. Notice that the stuff filling the 6 is the same color and texture as the stuff surrounding the 6. That&#039;s just environmental crud. That area appears to have been cleaned with some sort of brush. I&#039;m thinking that if you used a wet toothpick you could dig that stuff out of the 6, which of course would mean that it&#039;s just environmental crud.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, let&#039;s address the B in LIBERTY .&nbsp; You might, just might, have a chance here at.....something. The color and texture <i>appear</i> to be the same as the letter itself.</p><p>However, looks can be very deceiving.&nbsp; It could very well be the same crud, that has simply taken on the patina of the surrounding metal.</p><p><br /></p><p>It will take a much more discerning eye than mine to be sure enough to give you a definitive opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just relax and wait a bit and one of the resident experts will get to your post soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the mean time, I want to thank you for your post and say Merry Christmas and Welcome to Coin Talk !![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
