I always held that the "M" in PMD was for Minting, not Mint. So PMD to me is Post Minting Damage, anything after minting of the coin, even while still in the mint facility.
Nope, I'm still going to use Post Strike Damage. I'm too stubborn to let go of that term.
GrapeCollects, by the way, that 1998 Foreign coin you showed is a error coin as it happened at the U.S. Mint, not damage. That's why it was in Coin World. You should probably correct that.
Quote: So what would you call this? And yes, it came directly from the Mint.
I'd call it PSD, the damage occurred after the moment of strike.
Quote: At just what point does Post-Strike become effective?
Once the hammer die starts to retract. At that point the strike has finished and anything that happens to it after that is PSD. As I pointed out earlier there is the exception that a second striking action by the press would be considered a mint error and not PSD.
