<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael E. Smith, post: 2531024, member: 81741&quot;]At first I figured the 12 D to be PMD but then I reasoned that something striking the cent hard enough to leave a depression almost all the way through would have obliterated the O in GOD and the E in WE. I also figured a force that hard would have made the cent irregular in shape. Thus I concluded that it would have had to occur when still in the coining chamber and being retained by the collars when the hammer came down on something very hard (perhaps a piece of the die fell out). I will say my reasoning could be flawed as I have not seen many coins like this. Thanks for taking time to help me reach the proper conclusion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
