Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 07/22/2018 4:58 pm I always held that the "M" in PMD was for Minting, not Mint. So PMD to me is Post Minting Damage, anything after minting of the coin, even while still in the mint facility. KK Report this Post to the Staff

GrapeCollects, by the way, that 1998 Foreign coin you showed is a error coin as it happened at the U.S. Mint, not damage. That's why it was in Coin World. You should probably correct that.

I'd call it PSD, the damage occurred after the moment of strike. Quote: At just what point does Post-Strike become effective? Once the hammer die starts to retract. At that point the strike has finished and anything that happens to it after that is PSD. As I pointed out earlier there is the exception that a second striking action by the press would be considered a mint error and not PSD. Report this Post to the Staff

nss-52 Moderator United States 54282 Posts	Posted 08/11/2018 9:50 pm Wasn't the term just meant to differentiate between a coin that has been damaged -vs- something caused during the minting process. I see the term in use frequently when (generally) new members find a damaged coin, and post here how they found a new kind of "error". Report this Post to the Staff
