[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 5162488, member: 10461"]This 1865 3-cent nickel I got in a recent consignment has a rather bizarre appearance. At first glance, it sort of [I]appears[/I] to have a massive strikethrough error on the reverse. But I know that’s not really the case. It has to be PMD (post-mint damage), or, as [USER=44615]@paddyman98[/USER] says, a “DEFDAM”. (Definitely damaged). But it [I]is[/I] rather intriguing damage, nonetheless. I’m at a loss as to what might have caused that localized area of (corrosion?) in that bizarre ovoid pattern, almost in the shape of a capital “D”. Eh. Who knows. Weird, and mostly worthless, but interesting, huh? Maybe acid-etched, but if so, the pattern is still rather baffling. [ATTACH=full]1210065[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1210064[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
