Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 08/15/2015 5:28 pm What I was wondering is 'how many times has that coin been used to pay for a cold beer?' in its early days. Kidding aside it does look like a Cud from both sides. Report this Post to the Staff

aswag Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 08/16/2015 04:02 am If it is not a Cud, what would one have to do to a coin to get metal to fill the spaces between the letters and all the way to the rim like in this coin? Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 08/16/2015 10:02 am It looks like that is where the coin was gripped to enable the other damage. Vice or vice grips etc. Report this Post to the Staff
wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 08/16/2015 10:20 am PMD - PostMortem Diagnosis? Yes it appears a failed amputation of the lower extremities. Report this Post to the Staff
aswag Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 08/16/2015 12:00 pm Thanks nickelsguy for the follow-up. I'll have to sacrifice some coins someday and do some experimental PMD with a vice etc. to better understand how this can happen. @wildflowerAB --> PMD = Post Mint Damage but your PostMortem Diagnosis is very appropriate for this poor coin Report this Post to the Staff
aswag Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 08/31/2015 12:05 pm Just a follow-up. I finally received this coin that I bought on ebay and it is clearly PMD and not a Cud. The coin was struck very hard on the edge but the point of impact isn't seen in the pictures the seller posted. The point of impact looks like a small screwdriver was hammered into the edge of the coin. The force sent metal bulging out filling the space between the letters. Then with time the coin was worn down and the result looks like a Cud. Report this Post to the Staff
