Hi Guys, I had 2 coins that I like to you guys to check out and hopefully determine what caused the coins to end up in this state. At first glace, I thought that this coin is PD. As it was a bit wavey. But on second look I noticed that the edges are abit weird. I noticed that some edges had the rim mark but some does have and it is across the entire rims. This caused me to think that could it be mint error? I am newbie and I tired searching online on damaged planchet but could not find anything close to this one. Need some expert to shed some lights on this coin. Thanks. =) Once again sorry for the bad photos. I will get better equipment to show the details of the coin.   |

Hi matteproof, Thanks for the fast response. That my initial tot when I see them too. But I am think how did the rims has such a pattern. Some have strong rims marks then follow by smooth edge and then strong rims marks and smooth edge. Curious what caused this PMD. |

People do weird things to coins. My guess is it was bent and someone used a hammer to flatten it.

Lol. Life as a coin is tough. =p Need to be touch and torture by many on a daily basis. =p Btw so if any coins that looks wavy are confirmed to be PMD? Am I right to say that? Any other exception? |

This coin looks like it spent time as a shim under something heavy.

I bet this coin was encased and removed. This would account for the rim damage and waviness.
