paradise4u New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 12/12/2020 4:11 pm Kinda new to penny collecting, wondering how does severe rubbing like this happen without affecting edge of coin? Is there a term for that? Is it mint error or someone defacing? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/12/2020 6:27 pm This is not a mint error, this is post mint damage ( PMD). Something scraped against the surface of the coin, damaging the surface and the rim. A "weak strike" does not have the appearance a scape, a weak strike is a coin with overall faint (or fainter) definition. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 12/12/2020 11:13 pm I'm not quite sure I agree, this looks more like a Struck Through Grease error to me. I've noticed that can give a streaky appearance on modern Lincoln cents. It would also explain the full rims. Edited by Adam_E 12/12/2020 11:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7042 Posts	Posted 12/13/2020 12:27 am leaning towards Struck Through Grease... Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/13/2020 12:45 am Adam, I agree, your example looks as if it has a grease issue. However, on the OP's coin, the left rim is damaged, making my assessment lean towards PMD. I could be wrong (it wouldn't be the first time, lol), but the rim is making me say PMD.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/13/2020 1:20 pm I agree. Look at how full the rim is. On a Struck Through Grease you will see a full rim: A weak strike will not show the rim as strong: Thinned planchet strike: Note the thinned rim area? Report this Post to the Staff
