Odd Date Digits

That is not PMD IMO. The rim is a Cud error so the date is probably a die crack or full on broken die. Look at the 3 it wasn't struck properly on the bottom half.

Right maple leaf has the same thing at the same radius as the date. Can we get a close up of that? Odd how the 3 has metal across the bottom loop.

The bar across the 3 looks firmly fixed to me, no gap.

This is not a die break. A die break will make raised lines and lumps, not some sunken missing metal.

How is this not PMD? Coin Rolling Machine Damage. A lot of the threads here are about coins with circular damage with flattened and displaced metal. Do a search for it and you will see what I mean.

The 3 is NOT a die break. It is a well-placed hit of some sort, hard enough to displace the metal. A coin roller machine can do that, sometimes without scratching the fields at all. There are a lot of pics of the same kind of damage posted in the US section.
Look at these threads:
https://goccf.com/t/173630#1599846 Last picture. See how "trust" is smashed and the metal is now lying in a different than original place?
https://goccf.com/t/148187&SearchTe...chine,damage Coin rolling damage but no damage to fields.
There are many more examples in the US modern varieties section. Go search for " Rolling Machine Damage" and you will see.

That is not a Cud. Look at the first pic again. The area under the rim of 9 is flattened, and the area under the 5 is bent. Well-placed hits.

Either way, both are PMD.

john517 - I really am not in the mood to for arguing now, I'm exhausted from studying late the whole week and I still have a bloody report to finish while fighting sleep for the past few hours. I'll just say this for now: I bet you didn't even check out my first link or looked at more examples if you still don't think this is coin rolling damage.

@SlurExe97 I am not arguing, I am rebutting. I am sorry if it is stressing you out that was not my intention. Upon seeing the coin edge I now firmly believe that what I was seeing as a Cud error is actually PMD. I did look at the posts you quoted, and although there are similarities between the coins I was not convinced that this was coin roll damage. I do not know how the damage on the 3 came to be but I will concede that it was mechanical damage that most likely did not happen at the mint and is therefore PMD. The edges were really the domino in my theory once I saw them everything else just fell apart. This is why pictures just are not an effective way to judge a coin, you must have it in hand.

Thank you for the reasoning.

Good point made about coin in hand vs pictures.

Always looked at the imperfection/hole in the edge below the 9, as an impurity/bubble in the blank and something stuck to the collar die, punched through.

Always looked at the 3 & 5 (leaf tip) as a possible struck thru.

Going to the toy-shop (coin store) today, will take it along and if they are not too busy, I will ask what they think.
