JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21603 Posts	Posted 02/22/2022 4:19 pm PMD. Something has sliced through the rim. That can't happen during the striking of a coin. Report this Post to the Staff
zombodhismom New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 02/22/2022 4:30 pm Thank you both so much! I thought that's probably what it might be since it didn't affect all the letters in the area. I sincerely appreciate the feedback! Thank you for the welcome! I'm definitely learning quite a bit from everyone! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95645 Posts	Posted 02/22/2022 5:55 pm yep as stated damage, maybe even another coin's rim was pressed into this one. Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/22/2022 9:08 pm Note the edge is affected like you would expect to see on coin damage. If it were a mint error the shape on the outer edge would have been rounded. Report this Post to the Staff

shantiom Pillar of the Community United States 522 Posts	Posted 02/23/2022 01:10 am Whether PMD or Mint Error, I learned to ask, "would I buy this coin?" That sometimes take the confirmation bias out of the picture. Report this Post to the Staff
