Note the "ER" area distortion on the rim. That is post strike damage to the coin.

 . Is it a true set? Or who made up it? I go along with the experts here. That coin has PMD. |

As a semantic thing if it's sealed at the mint how can it be Post Mint Damage? when we say 'post mint damage' I think we are usually referring that it got damaged after it was struck at the mint, which makes it damaged and not an error. Any number of things could have happened to it while it traveled from the striking chamber to the packaging department. |

It would be Post Strike damage. Don't take it out of the OGP. That proves it was damaged at the mint. Might not be an error, but still probably one of a kind conversation piece.

Am I seeing a D mint mark? The date and possible MM seems out of alignment. Even if the mint mark does not exist, is the date properly aligned? As mentioned earlier, where is the corresponding damage to the packaging? PMD of this significance would surely be evidevident on the sealed set. I don't see any. Perhaps someone for some reason, invested in the equipment to reseal UNC sets that duplicates original mint packaging to mess with peoples heads. So, what is the most probable scenario. You must chose one of the aforementioned circumstances and back it up with definitive evidence to the contrary or just say " I'm really not sure about this one. I am not sure about this one. I do not know how any can offer a definitive opinion at this point. Perhaps it is the same culprit that provided the 2006 D nickel to Tropicalbats. |

@dowhat Definitely a D mark. agreed it will probably be a mystery, but a fun item none the less. The alignment of the MM may be due to the damage. It was difficult but I got a shot of the rim where the damage can be seen...  @Dearborn I was being cheeky about PMD language... but your explanation is on point - Thank You If there's a chance its not PSD/PMD would love Mike's opinion... but it's likely Post strike damage based on what everyone says... Thanks, -GB |

I am curious as to why discussion of this oddity has ceased. Was a definitive opinion reached that I missed? If not, it would be nice to hear further discussions regarding this coin from all of you in the know. Being in a sealed mint package, I am curious to know, at what point after striking and packaging would a force as significant as evidenced between the E & R of AMERCA taken place?. Also, please explain the CW rotation of the date and MM and how PMD might cause this to occur. Is that not a MM on the lapel of the bust? Next, please explain the corresponding linear lines on opposing sides and the event on the rim. Much similar to Tropicalbats 1962 D nickel highlighted in another thread that is soon to be published I am sure by Mike Diamond. I am confused about the lack of interest here as no plausible explanation has yet been postulated. I would be stoked if I found this. Yet there is little interest. I hope you can get more answers GBiscuits.  |

Dowhat, whatever it was that caused the damage came from an angle from the top and pushed the bottom of the mm down. It's not in the lapel. The lapel is farther down. I still don't know what it is, but it had to happen after the minting, and before the sealing into the cellophane.

And if I didn't know better it looks like somebody tried to take cutters and cut it like a piece of wire just saying

Thanks everyone, it does sort of look like someone tried to cut it, super strange to be honest... Maybe it got caught in some piece of sorting machine after strike? who knows, but either way its a cool set to hang onto for conversation. And maybe a mystery for life...
Thanks everyone
