Houler Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 02/07/2022 04:07 am Hi all and good day, I'm a newbie and I'm happy to be here. I was looking for a place to discuss and read about coins and collecting and did a google search and this forum popped up, looked around a little and so I decided to join. I was going through some old change that I've stored and kept throughout the years and found an anomaly of a coin. Here are some pictures. Keep in mind I'm fairly new to the Coin World (about a week mildly researching common knowledge about U.S. quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies) and collecting and just started collecting after finding out people would find rare and valuable coins by just going through change. I even got a new scale earlier this weekend so I can start weighing coins. Do you think it is a legitimate error coin? Is there any value in it, like should I get it authenticated or graded? Is it even worth it? Here are some pictures that I took and please let me know what you think about the coin: Edited by Houler 02/07/2022 04:08 am Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19187 Posts	Posted 02/07/2022 06:52 am Agree, post-strike damage. Copper plating (and some of the zinc) on high points has been ground down in a lateral fashion. We see one or two of these a month on this forum. Imagine the coin (lodged under a wooden pallet perhaps) being slid around a smooth-finished concrete floor in a store or industrial workshop. Report this Post to the Staff

Houler Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 02/07/2022 09:52 am Thank you for the responses all! I greatly appreciate it, the consensus is that it is PMD, a new term that I just learnt. I'll be more considerate of the cropping and the number of pics next time! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/07/2022 10:05 am Normal strike was sanded off the coin and now you see the final result. Thus you see the zinc showing though on what used to be the highest points of the design. Report this Post to the Staff

Clarifying the photo comments - all our experts need are single in-focus cropped full coin shots of both the obverse and reverse - and from there we can usually provide an informed opinion judgement on almost any coin shown to the CCF.
