Anything added to be struck through WILL NOT expand the chamber.&nbsp; Does cloth dent hardened steel ??&nbsp; nope ... ain&#039;t gonna happen.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Where as PMD is any .. and everything that you cannot even fathom.</p><p>and remember, PMD can happen more than once.</p><p>For instance. If I get a pristine penny. I then drop it on the ground and it scraps up the rim and high points. I then put it in my pocket with other coins of which may be a harder material like a nickel .. and that will scratch the soft copper.&nbsp; I then use it in a vending machine which will scrap it too and have other coins fall on it. I then get it back and put it in the cup holder of my car, of which others scrap against it and it&#039;s susceptible to the acid in a soda pop spill ....&nbsp; then at work it falls out of my pocket, gets run over by a few fork lifts, pushed to the side where it someone ends up in machinery and spit out with extensive damage ... so many ways anything can get damaged ..</p><p><br /></p><p>look at the rim scraps .. i&#039;m going to guess it was on the ground in one part of it&#039;s damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>also, you&#039;ll want for EACH and EVERY time show both sides of the coin.</p><p>you can learn a lot sometimes about a coin by seeing both sides.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
