<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pickin and Grinin, post: 3044875, member: 73995&quot;]Yes, the coin is in mint state, but haven&#039;t quite figured out what caused the small fissures in the cladding. Some of the pits show the copper core. The coin really has me puzzled. </p><p>It could be a defective planchet? </p><p>It could be slag inclusions that fell from the coin after it was struck?</p><p>It could be some sort of strike thru?</p><p>I just thought that it was interesting.</p><p>It reminds me of PMD but it isn&#039;t.
