Found this on vacation too. I'm wondering if this is PMD? If you need other photos let me know. As you can see from the photo, "America" from the Rev of another cent is imprinted on this one. You can clearly see the "RICA" on the edge. But it's backwards of course. Could this be done by the mint? Or a kid with a hammer and another cent?  |

Looks like the reverse of another coin was pressed into the obverse of this coin. I would guess PMD |

Are those letters raised on your coin?

Not raise.
That would be totally awesome.
A coin was pressed against it.
The letters are indented.
Can this type of thing happen at the mint?

Yes it would have been, just somebody with another coin and a hammer. No, it's PSD. Edited by CoinMasters

PSD and PMD are intended to mean the same thing - damage after the strike. The old school term PMD is not always correct because the damage can occur after the strike, at the mint. While many of us have been using the term PMD for a long time, thank Goodness more and more of us (including Coop), are transitioning to the more accurate term, PSD. Thank Goodness, because post strike damage is concise, conversely, post mint damage often is not. PMD actually says the damage couldn't have happened at the mint. We all resist change, but if it's better, then it's better, better for Numismatics.
