Spence Moderator United States 34453 Posts	Posted 04/19/2021 07:39 am Yes that is a shame. Is there any sort of corresponding mark on the other side at this location?

Firebird17732 New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 04/19/2021 7:05 pm I'm learning so much on this site. Thanks everyone for your insights! What's the difference between PMD and PSD? And Quote: Spence , the obverse of this coin doesn't seem to have corresponding damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/19/2021 7:20 pm In a shallow PMD edge scrape like this, no obverse impact would be expected. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34453 Posts	Posted 04/19/2021 7:58 pm Quote: PMD and PSD? Post-mint damage vs. post-strike damage Theoretically, you could classify damage that occurs after the coin is struck, but before it leaves the mint building as PSD but not as PMD. I use them interchangeably.

Firebird17732 New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 04/19/2021 8:01 pm Very interesting on the PMD vs. PSD. So for PSD, that's damage to a coin before it leaves the mint, but after it's been struck. Do collectors place a higher value on PSD vs. PMD? Or are neither preferred? Thx!

Spence Moderator United States 34453 Posts	Posted 04/19/2021 8:06 pm No, but close. PSD also includes damage that occurs after it leaves the mint, so I suppose that PMD is a subset of PSD. Again, it is all damage and in general hurts the numismatic value.
