    A silver nickel. It is PMD, I can see the flow of the scrape. I would have expected more damage to the top of the raised letters but I still call PMD.

    My guess is that it circulated for a while after the damage, and that removed the traces of the scrape on all of the letters except one. I can see what looks to be tell tale damage to the first L.

    PMD that circulation has worn the damage off the high points (letters)....Cheers, RickO

    That's why I do not like coins stored in cardboard holders that people have to use Staples to hold the coins in, I like to use self-adhesive. I saw a 1916 double die Buffalo with a big scratch down the Nose profile, what a mess it made on such a rare coin. said to myself maybe next time!

    Be careful as the self adhesive may emit fumes that can discolor coins.

    Staples are not an issue if you crush down the raised parts with pliers.

    Reminiscent of a staple scratch. Someone probably pulled it out of a flip, and stuck it in a roll for their stack.
