I almost feel stupid to ask, but this has to be PSD right? Sometimes weird things happen and I have to ask because you never know! I almost laughed when I saw this. Looks like Lincoln was a pirate..   |

The best indicator of PMD is the smashed area on the reverse. You can tell the coin was against something hard when the obverse damage took place. If it were a strike though or other minting issue, the reverse would be normal. |

hmm, ok. I have another one with a hold like this but smaller and the opposite side is normal. I guess it all depends on the force of the blow and the depth if the other side is impacted..

Can you post some pictures of the other coin. It's not always PMD. |

Its one of my other posts, the 1910 one with the "misplaced, dropped number" It should be in the listing somewhere.. I will post it here anyway. It was said to be PSD in my post..   |

I saw this one, it is PMD also. There is a thread on here about Rockwell test marks on coins that looks at some of the indentations we find on coins. That is why I wanted to see it. |

You can find most stuff on here by clicking the search button at the top of this page. The page that you were on just before this page has numbers in the top right corner (just below where it says, "show all topics"). You can click those numbers to take you back to previous topics.

Quote:...has to be PSD right? Krause1705, did you mean to write PMD a.k.a post mint damage? Or is PSD a term for something that I am unaware of? |

Thank you cwb, I haven't been able to get back to my computer.. I am not sure if I was using the correct term for this particular damage, or if there is a difference between the 2 and what you use them for..

Post Mint Damage implies the damage had to have occurred after the coin left the mint. Post Strike Damage states the damage occurred anytime after the strike. If a coin received damage after the strike, PSD is always correct terminology.  |
