This Lincoln is still inside the unopened mint packaging. There is no damage to the plastic. How would you classify this? Or would you even classify it? Thanks.   |

Looks like someone cut the coin while still in the packaging. It wasn't struck that way.

I know it wasn't struck that way. As I mentioned above, the packaging isn't damaged.  |

Hmmm peculiar. So it happened in the mint but how? And it's post strike . But it would still be a mint error. Hahaha I'm at a loss

It's a mint quality control error.  That poor coin got slammed between a couple of pieces of metal. |

There's no way to say how the damage occurred but it happened after the planchet was struck.PSD It has no value unless you just like damaged coins.Sorry

A piece like this demonstrates the importance of using the term Post-Strike Damage ( PSD), instead of Post-Mint Damage ( PMD). The term PMD would not fit for a piece like this, and it is not an error either. PSD is the only term that fits. |

It didn't really think this was worth any premium. I purchased the mint set because the damaged Lincoln caught my eye, and I said... out loud mind you, "how the heck did this happen?". Hopefully you guys thought it was pretty cool too. Thank you for the input and the PSD identification. |

I think it's cool yeah its damaged but still neat. If the quality control there at that time worked at McDonald's they would have a lot of wrong orders. Idk it might be more accurate to say spoiled meat. Hahaha
