Essus New Member Mexico 39 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 2:18 pm This error is beautiful, as I see it. Lack of metal but even that, wing almost show off. Community, how would you call this error? Maybe a wrongly metal alloy? Best regards to everyone and thanks in advance for your comments. Report this Post to the Staff

Essus New Member Mexico 39 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 2:27 pm It is interesting how that wing part was still able to be struck on the depression area. Report this Post to the Staff
Essus New Member Mexico 39 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 2:32 pm Hello John1, what kind of error is the 2000 P wounded eagle? Report this Post to the Staff
Essus New Member Mexico 39 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 2:36 pm John, I was thinking about debris the possible cause for this error, but if it was the that, I guess wing should not be able to be seen sufering as well the debris impact. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 3:05 pm It is contact damage, NOT a mint error, sorry. Notice the metal being pushed up at arrow tip. PSD. Post strike damage but may have happened during ejection from chamber, doubtful tho. Edited by Crazyb0 01/20/2018 3:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Essus New Member Mexico 39 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 3:14 pm Hello Crazyb0, thanks for your opinion. Sorry to tell but there is no pushed metal. Here in my hands and with 10x magnifying glasses theres is no such pushed metal. On the opposite, it is very clear the flateness surrounding the gap. Report this Post to the Staff
Essus New Member Mexico 39 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 4:01 pm Crazyb0 maybe this images helps you to see there is no pushed metal. So we do not have debris or something extrange pushing and deforming the metal. That idea is not adecuate for this. Best Regards! Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 5:39 pm Still looks like PMD to me. to the CCF! Edited by Coinfrog 01/20/2018 5:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Essus New Member Mexico 39 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 9:05 pm Coinfrog I understand that you think is a PMD, but I can tell you it is not. That is why I'm keep telling it is a pretty rare condition. Wing was struck over the lack of metal. Tips feather has the depresion as well, weakly struck but still showing the original design. Report this Post to the Staff
Essus New Member Mexico 39 Posts	Posted 01/22/2018 3:59 pm So anybody knows what is the issue about this coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/25/2018 4:34 pm Essus, here's what I see. I see a double contact hit, hit first (RED), then bounced and slid to rest against feather (YELLOW) and in the BLUE direction with a pivot point at the left of both images. Coin contact in transport bags most likely. If this were a planchet flaw, the amount of detail in the indent wouldn't be as it is, it wouldn't have had enough material to work into the die.

Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 01/25/2018 4:50 pm Just asking, But where or how did you come across this coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Essus New Member Mexico 39 Posts	Posted 01/26/2018 5:12 pm Thanks Crazyb0, but as I´ve been telling you, rest of the coin looks perfectly normal. Here some pics from the coin still on his MInt Set plastic bag and a better perspective for you. Looks like a piece of chocolate detached, clean detached metal, no trace of friccion or extrage contact as PMD. Hi Newbie24 I bought it on line. Report this Post to the Staff
