Looked for examples but didn't find anything just like it. Judging by the other marks I'm guessing PMD but just want to be sure. Please and thank you in advance for your knowledge Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21694 Posts	Posted 03/21/2025 1:45 pm There is no way for that to happen during the striking of the coin so that means it is PMD, no matter how it happened. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/21/2025 5:08 pm One of the first things to learn is, that when you have damage below the surface of the coin and corresponding buildup of metal, 99.9% of the time it's damage. It can't happen in the minting of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Mitzi1 New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 03/24/2025 10:39 pm Thank you all! I come across and save a lot of shiny coins if they appear to be in better condition than they "should be" for their age... How can I tell if it's from cleaning? I'm not necessarily collecting them . Just make sure to throw them in the jar instead of spending them. Often upon a second inspection, I notice things I hadn't previously and put them back in the spend pile (just a habit from years of serving, getting tips and operating a cash register).. how can I tell I'm holding something cleaned and not it's natural state?
