Yes with all above--post-strike damage, likely of a mechanical nature.

Intentional grinding down making it look supper worn, but these have been altered. no mint errors here, just post damage.  |

If I remember right, there is a section in the Red Book that explains the minting process.That would help with figuring out errors vs PMD. John1  |

Please can you source complete explanation of what you show? Who is the editor of?
Is thin planchet? probably. The coins show after strike interventions. If you understand more or less the thin planchet strike, look at the letters Monticello and five cents, then look at the rim letters which dissipate. This open the question? All the letters on reverse are at the same level and has same dimensions.
I wait for the source and the editor.

The nickel in the OP doesn't look sanded down, the high points and corners are naturally rubbed down. A sander would keep the corners sharp and the diameter the same, unless someone deliberately sanded the edge which I don't see. My vote is circulation, believe it or not. Mechanical machinery could've sped up the process but this coin was naturally handled in my opinion. Either way it is PMD, not struck on a different planchet. Suffering from bust half fever.

@Jacrispies: I am 100% with you. we say sanded, very large meaning. Could be by circulation, different abrasive manipulation or also machinery. What is shore do not happened at the Mint facility.
We have to wait the OP with the name of the allegations last done and also the site.

Why couldn't someone sand the rim down at a 45 deg angle? Then years of circulation.

silviosi & jacrispies you both should read it too error-ref.com best link thank you told us about this compressive index of errors and varieties. This site is born by the collaboration of many big experts in this field. I know from the begin and many time I spook with Fred and give my point on. This site was never finish complete, very complex to be done. They continuous up-grade when has the best compressible material. It is the very good start for all beginners in this field, because bring the definition's by kind if they combine with a solid knowleadge of the minting process by years. Now I want to tell you that the way how you wrote is prejoric regarding me and jacrispiesIf I come here to wrote or answer to different topics it is just from my way to be to give to others my opinion and I try always to answer as much is possible in the scientific way of this nice and passionate hobby. Thank you and good hunting an hope you will build a very nice collection. PS.: Not necessary I will be 100% right all the time, but in general I am not far. |
