Dearborn Moderator United States 97083 Posts	Posted 03/05/2023 3:47 pm the devices (the design elements) have been flattened out while in circulation. Just normal wear and tear, which we call PMD or Post Mint Damage Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8779 Posts	Posted 03/05/2023 9:29 pm Bill, these are unusual, look to be raised and quite distinct but would have to agree, that they are some sort of damage, more than likely. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Bill Kerr Valued Member United States 425 Posts	Posted 03/06/2023 06:46 am Guys I agree that there is some kind of damage here, but I want to believe that it was done before the coin left the mint. Why, the features are at or below the same level as IN GOD WE TRUST, looks to have the same amount of wear and it looks as through some of the markings are from an edge of another quarter. Most PMD that I have seen is in the form of scratches. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 03/06/2023 07:26 am Monday morning, and I have fun and smile look at those post of pseudo Mint errors. Hope will be a good week. @KERR: why you do not understand you has just a junk coin? Report this Post to the Staff
