[QUOTE="Ordinary Fool, post: 2789888, member: 85318"]The images have an appearance of being a photograph of a photograph. Note when looking on the attribution sites many of the photographs are taken from angles other than straight overhead. This is a prime example of a coin that should also be inspected in the same manner as well as photographed. Typically I use Rodico, (modelling clay or Plasticine easy enough to get anywhere works fine) but, only on coins that aren't filthy. Playdough is acidic so if you use it, the coin exposed to it needs to be neutralized quickly in baking soda. Masking tape and a stack of nickels. Fidgety but will work. [ATTACH=full]647681[/ATTACH] Most likely this is indeed PMD and what you are seeing straight overhead is something has hit it, probably another coin or maybe a key, and it's knife edge cleanly sliced the top of the 6 and deposited it where it now rests, and as it rests. Try it and don't limit your inspections to the coin lying flat on your stage. You'll miss some details that way. [ATTACH=full]647680[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
