<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3128972, member: 84179&quot;]The missing area is in the shadows, but it looks like there are striations, which would indicated the edge was abrasively removed, which would make it PMD. </p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse directly opposite the missing area is strongly struck.&nbsp; This could not occur if the coin was struck on a defective planchet.&nbsp; That area would be weak.
