I have few presidential gold dollar coins with certificate of authenticity is mint. The edges are gashed and not formed correct. Sorry don't know the terms to describe it. On the picture with arrows are just 3. The P is missing it's bottom part. The gash between the 9 and P. The huge mashed in area. Again sorry don't know all the terms. What do you think.

Hello! From the images provided, I think it is PMD or post mint damage. Better pictures would help but I think it's PMD. Happy hunting! -CH27

I find the edge printing very hard to read. Evan with my microscope.

Have you tried just using your camera? No lens? Sometimes that is the best thing to do. My other suggestion is that you put the coin flat on a table, the part you want to take a picture of off the edge of the table, and then try to shoot the picture in good lighting. It's hard but I've done it. Good luck!

I'm fairly sure the dime is just post strike damage.

I live in a small town in Texas. Anyway there is a small coin stamp collector. I stopped in talked to them showed 6 different coins. The gentleman says to me; I don't buy errors and was amazed with presidential coin. I asked him so who would I take it to. He didn't know. So know I am asking y'all. Where would I take it to?
Thank you Dawn
