SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 03/28/2019 03:56 am Everything points to this being post mint damage of some sorts, but I pulled this from a mint sealed original cello mint set. It looked like this before I gently took it out. I assume this is just damage and not an error, but I was wondering if anyone knew what caused this. Thank you for your time. The cut is slightly curved and the lines above United are incuse, the cut has pushed metal away and has created a bump below the cut on the reeding. I tried to capture this the best I could. What at the mint could have caused this before it went into the set? Maybe while it was being put into the set? Edited by SilverStackerKid 03/28/2019 03:58 am Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74846 Posts	Posted 03/28/2019 10:23 am That's Post Strike Damage ( PSD). That happened after the coin was struck. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 03/28/2019 10:44 am we see these posted from time-to-time. It helps better define the technical difference between PMD and PSD. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 03/28/2019 4:58 pm Very interesting coin to learn from. I had seen similar markings on coins in mint sests without the obverse gouge and had assumed it was some kind of damage. Thank y'all for reminding me of PSD vs PMD I forgot PSD was a thing haha. This would fall under PSD for sure. Report this Post to the Staff

Old school description PMD = Post minted damage. New school description PMD = Post mint damage. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff

That is true, and Post Minted Damage made sense. But the "New School" description of Post Mint Damage tends to confuse people and you start getting claims that "If the damage happened in the Mint then it is still a "Mint Error". And you get people who want to know how you can tell if the damage occurred before or after it left the Mint. That is why Post Strike Damage is better. It is less confusing. Anything that happens after the coin was struck is just damage. Report this Post to the Staff
