Checkout the spot to the right of the last A in America. At first I thought it was just damage but looking closer it actually looks like a possible error... more like a partial stamp than a scrape or something. What do you guys think?
It’s PMD. You can see the moved metal and the clean copper color. Fresh copper color on a brown cent is an indication of PMD.
I agree. The bright, untarnished copper beneath is a sign that this occurred more recently, or else it would be the same color as the rest of the coin. Also, the displaced metal is a good indicator.
There is also a substantial amount of mold spores. You don't know where this coin has been, so wash your hands.
