Fixguy Pillar of the Community Canada 532 Posts	Posted 11/29/2014 9:14 pm Looking through my 1990's today I noticed this one obvious defect that I can't place. Anyone know what caused it weather it be PMD or not? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2517 Posts	Posted 11/29/2014 9:55 pm PMD. Coin Rolling Machine Damage. I haven't seen a lot of nickels with the round scratch, most of what I see have the straight line scratch. Both are from coin Rolling Machine Damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Fixguy Pillar of the Community Canada 532 Posts	Posted 11/29/2014 11:08 pm Thanks a lot SlurExe97 I've seen it on other denominations but it was not so complete. It didn't look natural. Anyways I'm surprised the damage the machine can do. Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2517 Posts	Posted 11/30/2014 5:21 pm I've never seen an overused die will cause a scratch (which is incuse to the coin). It will cause filling. Report this Post to the Staff

purelywasted Pillar of the Community Canada 1505 Posts	Posted 12/01/2014 01:50 am Interesting. Just got a quarter with the same line pattern close to beads. Usually I see the circle much closer to the center. Report this Post to the Staff
