macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5832 Posts	Posted 10/12/2011 7:21 pm I would of think that it would be another PMD, but Mr. Weinberg says otherwise! http://www.ebay.com/itm/1974-D-LINC...em5d30ae6339 Report this Post to the Staff

rachums107 Pillar of the Community United States 3345 Posts	Posted 10/12/2011 7:33 pm Looks like PMD to me. Emphasize the word "looks". This is not my area of expertise. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/12/2011 8:32 pm The Memorial side is where the split occurred, those rough lines are the natural grain of the metal. An error like that would be very difficult to authenticate without having it in hand, most ebay sellers wouldn't get a second look. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/12/2011 9:43 pm The weight of the coin would figure in on determining the error or PMD. The planchet split, thus it is an planchet error. Having it in hand would show the defect as Bio mentioned. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2737 Posts	Posted 10/12/2011 11:53 pm There is no question that this is a genuine cent struck on a split planchet. It's a rather common error type. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5832 Posts	Posted 10/13/2011 12:56 am I have a hard time digesting the fact that error like this split planchet are common and how to detecting it, as I don't usually encounter it in normal circulation. These are valuable lessons one can't normally get without the residents experts being here. I truly appreciates from all of you willing to share your knowledge. Report this Post to the Staff

Shnug Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 10/13/2011 07:37 am I found a coin a few weeks ago that looked the exact same with the same year.. Could've been struck the same day! I tossed it out figuring it was PMD. Darn. Report this Post to the Staff
