In that case, how's the weight on this one? If it's thicker but has the same diameter, you'd expect more weight. The thing is that it looks like a pretty well-circulated coin, which usually points more in the direction of PSD, at least to me it does. |

It does scream PSD...but there's just some odd things about it that made me take a second and third glance...lol...I don't have a scale..but here's a couple more pics   |

OK I have to ask, I've been seeing a lot of this PSD lately what does it stand for. I thought it was supposed to be PMD but I guess not. |

Well, if a normally struck coin gets dropped on the mint's floor and shows extreme signs of damage, technically it happened at the mint, so it's a mint error, but it happened after the strike, so really it should be called Post Strike Damage ( PSD), rather than Post Mint Damage ( PMD) because it did happen at the mint. Crazy, I know....  |

So lets put PSD in the 'glossary' |

PSD is less confusing. There is a place to make a suggestion to put it in the glossary. Do it!

Agree, PSD is less confusing. In this case, it surely was deliberate rather than circulation-related. |

I just put a request for the definition in the glossary. I typed a lengthy definition, and I will let you guys know the results when I get them

I agree it's probably PSD...but why would it be thicker all around..and the same diameter as a normal cent...how do you smash a coin thicker?...lol |

Probably the edge was hammer as well making the rim to appear taller on the coin.

Maybe a new acronym for this one. PSM--Post Strike Mutilation.  |

Good job Dustin. Chief, in my opinion this coin should not be spent. I think it should be on public display. Considering it's face value, and especially it's condition, I believe it would be appropriate to throw it out the window on the interstate. Passer byers could marvel at it as it's condition improves over time. I realize it would require some effort to make that possible, but I truly feel that this one is more than worthy.  jmo lol |
