50c Kennedy 2020 D, Two Step *coin* & Obv. Die Clash! See All&last Comments

I'm pretty sure at this point.
The OP didn't quite state "They are incuse" and the last image could be either, depending on the direction of the light source.

WHY is this still a HOT topic Lock it down waist of time you can CLEARLY SEE its just Damage from another coin hitting it. Look at the last mark the bottom, you can CLEARLY see how the metal in PUSHED UP In to the field of the coin. LOCK IT.

If that bothers you it's easy enough not to click the link.

Maybe you should READ the ENTIRE topic BEFORE going all CAPS on us.

Hi,
Well CHASE007 you hit the preverbal nail on the head. And those photos are very educational. (Thanks for the time and effort. Greatly appreciated!) It's amazing how you reproduced what I was inadvertently photographing! And there were many others who understood how light and shadows can play tricks on any optics. Both mechanical and human. Please see below.

At this late date I'm embarrassed, but hope I didn't totally waste the Coin Community's time.

Thanks everyone for the very thoughtful comments and for all of your time.

Regards,

Hi,

(Off Topic) - somewhat;

Well here I am sheltering in place, about 2 months in, finding some entertainment in this hobby, then this post in the Coin Community. (I'm what is called the OP). Needless to say it didn't go great. But after it was all essentially over, 2 individuals in the waning posts on this topic decided to pile on to my experience. Not only did it irk me that my topic ended this way, but the comments they posted are disparaging and left a stink.

After some stewing, I finally decided to clear the air from my standpoint and just not put up with this kind of stuff. So following is a definition of a word (not to be repeated here) that has risen in awareness in some ways because of these times that I think is particularly germane in this situation. So here is what I think of you 2 and of your post's value;

"—————————"

(noun) A person usually male, prone to making outrageously stupid statements and/or inappropriate behavior while generally having a very high opinion of their own wisdom and importance.


Regards,

Here is another thought I had during the duration of this topic that is apart from the above post and is to the others here in the CCF,

"This is something-something about something, that's something. That you just have to believe, is not about nothing."

Yes I am one of the Two you are most likely talking about I will raise my had and say guilty. The reason for asking for a lock down is you will never come to reason of the facts. Its NOT a error coin its PMD/CONTACT marks. So lets all move on to a new coin to look at. I have a suggestion for you. Send It In to MR WEXLER for attribution and I'll pay the bill if it comes back as a ERROR. Some time ya just gotta say ENOUGH is ENOUGH and move on.This is one of them times.

As I understand it, things went roughly like this:

- OP posts photos, sincerely believes marks are raised, says as much
- first few responders (me included) say it's probably PMD (contact marks)
- it's pointed out that contact marks should be incuse, not raised
- OP is taken at face value, apparently because they feel sincere enough
- error experts scramble to figure out why would there be raised marks that look like contact PMD
- someone proposes the two-step contact theory, it is discussed for a while
- page 1 ends around this point; many readers never got any further
- mid-page 2, OP realizes that the marks were incuse after all
- upon that realization, the PMD theory is accepted
- it is too late to fix the title, which remains unfixed
- the ensuing confusion sends the thread into page 3
- by page 3 nobody is quite sure what's going on, especially if they hadn't read page 2
- people who only read page 1 and/or the title keep insisting it has to be PMD
- which is how we got into the current mess
- those were some really nice photos, by the way, how did you make them?

I apologize if I missed any important stages.
