1986-P LMC Overcoat Crease Issue

Coop you are the authority no doubt. All I have is a penny with a ridge, not a valley. I'm not sure how anyone could even see it as a valley. I think the coin took a slam to produce a ridge. But it looks to be a little too convenient to make a ridge like that. I'm not experienced enough to make that judgement. At the end of the day, a die crack results in no premium so why do we bother?

Thanks again Coop for a lesson

Just because it's raised it doesn't mean it's PMD.

Slight slivers of metal can be pushed upwards when it's hit by something, making that piece of metal raise up slightly like you have here.

It just got hit in a way where the metal was pushed up a little bit.

Haha alright, well, if that's what you want to do go for it.

Here's some nice sites to help you with Doubled Dies and other things:

No problem! Oh alright, glad you know of them then. Thanks, means a lot! I try to help people out the best I can, even though my knowledge is very limited.

Anytime!

Thanks Coop! The portion of that coin is normally recessed per design. I'll keep it as a novelty.

Edit to add - I too think the coin took a smash, in an area that makes it look odd. I'll save it, costs me 1 cent.

Well I have many threads on different subjects. When I type in CoopHome: Note it turns blue. If you click on the that link, you can study various subjects with hundreds if not thousands of images with a great information to learn on. It took me 15 years to learn what I can teach others now in weeks. Why was my learning so slow. I was taught with yes or no answers. This gives you the answer, but know why they said yes or no, is more important. Thus my comments are usually to help everyone see what I see on the images and give them more information along the way. So check out the link. There are three pages of links to go through. Even the subject of Machine Doubling comes up a lot. Also doubled dies for different series of coins. What to look for, instead of trying to identify from things looking different. So hand there, many have benefited from the site. You will to. Welcome to the addiction.
