I also think that it is PMD. I can't think of any possible it happened at the Mint. A good example of buyer beware. Edited by JimmyD

Even if there was a rolling imperfection as stated, I would think that the Flow of Metal during the striking process would not end up making the so called error look like a perfectly straight line through the coin. PMD ! |

PMD. Two sided planchet defects like that just don't happen.

A foreign object would have been stuck to the roller and left this deep impression in the coin. Is one roller or two rollers used? If one, impossible to be on both sides right? If two, there would have to be a foreign object stuck to both, in perfect sync with each other to come out dead opposite each other on the resulting coin right? |

Post mint damage. The anything caught in rolling of the nickel strips would be subsequently modified by the upset mill (which forms the rims). The only way to preserve such an element is if the collar die was absent or not engaged. Clearly this coin was struck with the collar die, and there is no dovetailing in of the rim.
Post mint damage, final answer Regis....

 definitely PMD. Tried to figure how it could have happened at the Mint; ran out of scenarios. |

Had that coin been posted here first the seller (also CCF member) would have known that its PMD. Perhaps he believes otherwise I dont know, but the coin was on ebay before he joined CCF, I think. |

I tried the link, this was the message I got:
"This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing."

Sorry guys that was my listing. I wasn't a CCF member here at the time. I had bought the coin off someone and they gave me that story that I mentioned in the listing. I didn't do any proper research first. I rushed into posting it and made a mistake. Shortly after posting the ad I had someone tell me it was PMD and he showed me the link to this fourm. I removed the coin from ebay and chucked the coin in the garbage so it couldn't fool anyone else. I joined CCF a couple days later because I wanted to make sure in the future I make more informed decisions so I don't end up selling someone a worthless PMD. |
