allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 08/30/2022 2:01 pm Here is an usual roll of nickels from my bank this week. I found 35 1964 nickels, two 1969 D's on the obverse and three 1969 S nickels on the obverse. So I searched all the 1964 nickels mostly looking for a double mint mark but no luck! Coins were very worn and I figured it was a dump from a local collecter. Same for the 1969 D's but out of the three 1969 S I found one ok! So this coin had an interesting PMD on the reverse. It looks like and enlarged D, but I'm pretty sure it was A strike from something external, just never found anything like this on a nickel before. The S mint mark on the obverse looks ok except there were 23 million minted, so not rare! anyway have a look and let me know what you think. Regards all. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/30/2022 5:01 pm Okay, the answer is correct that the coin was damaged post strike. But how did we come to than answer? What tells us what happened to this coin? Note the shape of the affected devices. All the area except there the target area was affected, is showing normal design. The target area is showing a flattening and metal movement because of strong contact on that area. Similar to a splash outwards of the metal. Note the design is affected in the opposite directions of the strike zone? The So called 'D' is showing an incuse look. Note it is not raised at all? If it were a mintmark, then it would be raised, not incuse. Thus it was altered during damage to the damage on the coin. Not a plus for the coin. A damaged coin turns it into a cull coin. No premium for a damaged coin. The harder the coin is hit, the more splash of the metal away from the contact site will be seen on a damaged coin. Often when this happens, then the opposite side of the coin will be affected. CoopHome: When a coin is damaged, why does the metal show a splash direction on the design? strong hits cause the metal to more away from the hit. not a die issue, but coin issue Edited by coop 08/30/2022 5:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
