Watty New Member Canada 39 Posts	Posted 11/19/2017 6:13 pm I have noticed similar looking coins on these forums which looked almost like spiraled circles in the middle of the coin which were chalked up to PMD but not much explanation on why. The middle of the reverse side of this coin has something going on in the middle but I am not sure what. Any insight on what it might be even though I am sure its just PMD would be great. * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 11/19/2017 6:31 pm has been stated it is Machine Damage...which machine, good guess is in order. I would venture a vending machine or a large scale coin sorter with a flywheel size separator. The ejector plunger may be the culprit if the machine jammed with coin in slot and ejector kept hitting it. You'll find numerous possibilities, but it will be something along those lines.

What we do know, though, is that there's no mint process which could result in something like this happening. Having eliminated that possibility, it could only be something postmint. Any specific explanation of why, except in cases where - for instance - we know that a counting machine creates such damage, are pure speculation. Report this Post to the Staff
