It may take a little pAtience. Hanging out here you will learn tons and see some pretty cool coins. Anyone what's PMD? I see this term alot. I know the m is for mint, but the rest stumps me.

kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 12/06/2014 6:11 pm Post Mint Damage. As distinct from the damage that occurs during the minting process that produces many of the errors and varieties. Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 12/06/2014 6:37 pm This is before the multi-ply plating process. I think this is a very legit error. It could be struck through a copper flake, like I see on nickel dollars https://goccf.com/t/141051 Or, it could be a sintered planchet strike. Or, it possible an alloy mixing error. I have handled a similar piece in the past, that unfortunately, was harshly cleaned - however, the harsh cleaning did make it easier to decipher.

pocket change 50 Pillar of the Community Canada 1751 Posts	Posted 12/06/2014 6:55 pm SPP that is an interesting nickel, very cool. What is struck through a copper flake and how does it happen? You'd think the different metals don't get mixed up? I would of though yours was some weird discolouration. However you've got equipment and know how to do tests. I'm glad you posted some pics.

Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 12/06/2014 7:23 pm There is a few things going on with the OPs coin I agree. I'm not suggesting the OPs coin is PMD, the Obv got my attention more than the Rev, Sintered planchet it may be. The pics I posted are of fountain coins that have reacted with each other while in water with bacteria and algae reducing chemicals over time. Just for comparison I bought the first bag long time ago just to see whats in it..300951026181 Here's an awesome link on how to clean those heavily tarnished coins (dont try this for your good coins)...CLR H-dM3dQud-Q Report this Post to the Staff
