Metal ridges are present that go above ththe surface of the coin in the affected areas, but I have no clue how to tell if this is a minting error or PMD. Any and all help would be appreciated and I've more than caught the bug in these respects. Value opinions would also be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

We see some pretty beat coins almost every day. But we also see some great finds, too. Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 09/06/2017 08:59 am damaged coin. Could have found its way into an industrial dryer and bounced around in there. Could have gotten jammed in a vending machine or roll counting machine. Could have been hit with a hammer. Keep your eyes peeled; errors are out there! Report this Post to the Staff
