OldJoeClark Pillar of the Community United States 1260 Posts	Posted 03/04/2017 10:06 pm Looks to be some PMD as a spot on the rim is flattened but is there anything else going on here? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/04/2017 11:26 pm Looks like it got smashed and bent, took a hit on the memorial, MM is a filled D...not sure what's going on with IN. Check this: http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=mds Report this Post to the Staff
OldJoeClark Pillar of the Community United States 1260 Posts	Posted 03/05/2017 12:16 am Thanks Crazyb0. I just noticed this on the edge. May give better insight into what happened. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/05/2017 12:26 am I wouldn't discard it just yet. From the obverse it looks like a rim hit. The reverse is a lot more interesting to me. I'll wait for more experienced members to chime in.

Jovian Valued Member United States 147 Posts	Posted 03/05/2017 01:05 am It looks like PMD to me too, but I would not get rid of it at all. It is very interesting even if it is not a mint error. It only costs a penny to keep. Definitely interested to see what others have to say. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/05/2017 01:27 am I'm curious because the obverse and reverse pics look like different coins to me. They're not but, it tells me that there may be some mint error involved.

jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 03/05/2017 06:33 am I'm going with PSD/PMD Somehow the devices in American were pressed back into the planchet separating the top portion of America. The edge looks like it was compressed some how. Hydraulic press maybe. It looks pretty neat but not an error IMHO In my humble opinion Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/05/2017 10:33 am To me it looks altered. But how? I don't know. It may have had the rim flatten on the edge a bit. Again I'm not sure how it was done. If it were a mint error, I wouldn't expect to see the metal roll over the edge. PSD (I would still save it as it is a copper cent) Report this Post to the Staff
