Aprildia New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 07/04/2014 7:18 pm I was wondering if this is man made or an actual error. It's looks like a mirror image date, perhaps? Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Aprildia New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 07/04/2014 7:46 pm Thank you. I thought it looked like a re-punched date. I'm also curious as to what would cause this? Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 07/04/2014 8:30 pm Looks to me like a really deep hit from the reeding of another Morgan. This could happen if someone tossed a full bag of Morgans onto a pile of them - that's 60lbs of silver falling onto another similar bag and such an impact could drive one coin into the next one with a bunch of force.

I agree and that would mean it's not PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
mackwork Pillar of the Community United States 652 Posts	Posted 07/05/2014 06:57 am PMD. It may have happened at the mint or at a bank receiving bags, but it was not caused during the actual minting of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Anything that happens to the coin after the completion of the strike is PMD. Doesn't matter if it happened inside the mint building or after it left the building. The Mint in Post Mint Damage is actually shorthand for Minting. It does confuse some people, especially newbies. Report this Post to the Staff
