imagecoins Valued Member United States 336 Posts	Posted 05/28/2026 1:24 pm Hello, Can someone tell me how this happens? Because Its flat like a regular dime. If its on the ground its impossible for other areas in the center not to be scratched. Can someone else recreate this to show me it's PMD? Does not looks like its sanded either. So can someone tell me please! Report this Post to the Staff

Doesn't really matter what happened to it, since damage is damage. A spender. If you haven't yet, study the minting process and do research on error-ref.com. https://www.usmint.gov/learn/produc...3ceUPUOxIjwg www.error-ref.com Errers and Varietys.

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1655 Posts	Posted 05/30/2026 03:48 am The minting process is a fairly straight forward manufacturing procedure with all steps known and well documented. Once a coin leaves the dies the number of things that can happen are absolutely endless. It's much easier to ask, " is there any way this can happen in the minting process", rule that out and it's some sort of post mint damage. Report this Post to the Staff
