Note the rims are flattened and the coin is out of round. All marks on the coin are either incuse (where something hit it, or flattened (where it was hammer to a flat surface). Just PSD. |

It was just odd to me..the flat parts are high...and the coin is thicker than a normal cent...if smashed..you would think it would be thinner in areas...idk

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. |

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.  |
