SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 04/08/2018 12:08 am They're all PMD (Post Mint Damage). Lamination errors have a more "flaky" look. It's hard to explain, but it's like they have a more jagged edge to them, and are not usually incuse deep into the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/08/2018 12:10 am Edge distortion is showing coin damage. Cut edge with side cuts on the first coin. All the coins are showing a damaged coins. Damage is not a mint error. PSD (Post Strike Damage) Report this Post to the Staff
becardw3 Valued Member United States 102 Posts	Posted 04/08/2018 12:13 am You can tell because like on the second one, the pressure from the obverse made the reverse stick out more. ill let others chime in for an actual expert statements, but so far, all I see is PMD. a planchet error would most likely be clipped planchet or strike through. A strike through would have an indentation on one side but show no signs of disturbance on the other. the last picture is of a lamination and Greaser. Struck Through Grease and its missing details in only one place. lamination is peeling up in some places as well Report this Post to the Staff
Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 04/08/2018 12:14 am Thanks! I appreciate it. I have discarded a many PMD coins, but these were interesting enough to make me question? I will get the hang of this eventually ;) Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/08/2018 12:56 am I agree that your coins are all PMD. Stick around and you will learn a lot about coin errors and varieties.
