EchoCoin2023 New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 03/07/2023 02:17 am I found this strange coin, 2002 D nickel, but with strange reeded edge. It weights at 4.99g. Is this mint error or post mint damage? Edited by EchoCoin2023 03/07/2023 02:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34441 Posts	Posted 03/07/2023 04:10 am That is odd. I have no idea why someone would do this, but I don't see how it could have left the mint looking like this. I might keep it just for the novelty, knowing it is just damage.

It did not leave the mint that way so it is PMD - although I can't begin to speculate how someone did that. Creative coin destroyers are everywhere! It's curious enough that I would place it in a 2x2 and save as a novelty. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

fplagge Pillar of the Community United States 660 Posts	Posted 03/07/2023 08:24 am Looking at the edge, it seems as if the obverse may be popped off - like a Magician's coin. Have you explored that possibility? Report this Post to the Staff
