TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 08/03/2021 9:21 pm I could use opinions on this coin. I thought it might be mint damage but I wanted other opinions. Is it PMD? Edited by TippyCanoe 08/03/2021 9:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 08/03/2021 9:39 pm I'm going to say PMD, but it's hard to tell what's going on, due to shadowing on the photos. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97932 Posts	Posted 08/03/2021 9:49 pm Looking at the reverse, I'd have to say that it is a sandwich coin. (2 planchets). One got struck but not ejected and another one inserted and got smashed in to it. We really have to have the weight of this item to be sure.. at the bottom, could that be a broad struck?

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21648 Posts	Posted 08/04/2021 08:52 am It looks like a Cupped Off-centre Strike. It is not mint damage or PMD but a nice looking Mint Error. Nice find. Report this Post to the Staff

TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 08/04/2021 09:34 am Good morning to all. Thanks for helping with this. Weight is 3.10 g. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97932 Posts	Posted 08/04/2021 10:45 am Weight is correct, so not a double coin... Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 08/04/2021 11:21 am This doesn't look like any major mint error. Also hard to believe this coin evenly circulated for many years if it was a mint error. I'm going to stick with PMD. Better pictures with a few different angles and lightings will help.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/04/2021 11:27 am Sent Mike a note on this one. The reverse has me wondering if it is something we've not seen before? The upper right and lower left. If it were damaged with another coin, why is the strike mostly there on both sides of the coin? Maybe an out of collar/partial collar strike?

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2739 Posts	Posted 08/04/2021 11:57 am Coop asked me to weigh in on this one. This cent was definitely damaged outside the Mint. The obverse trough and reverse flattening (left side) and the obverse slope, stepped flange, and design cutoff (right side) are effects that cannot occur in a coining press.
