merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 04:44 am Mint error? No, just some bad luck along it's journeys. Post mint damage. How/why? Doesn't matter because unless you were there when the damage occurred, we'll never know. Damage is damage. Keep searching. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 06:43 am If you want to catch a rainbow trout, you need to know what a rainbow trout is. If you want to find an error coin, you have to know what an actual mint error is. Most odd looking things on coins are just post mint damage ( PMD) Save Yourself time, effort, and disappointment...don't learn the coin hobby backwards. Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage or useless Machine Doubling, Die Deterioration, etc. Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like. A good way to start is, for instance, separate a bunch of pennies by date. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins.

jvcv_0 Valued Member United States 180 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 06:59 am I've learned a lot from you Earle42. I get what you're saying but cmon, this does not look like typical environmental damage. It doesn't look typical at all. I'm struggling to imagine how it could've been done at all, either in the mint OR PMD. To my admittedly untrained eye it isn't just wear, it's metal being chipped and broken under stress. Edited by jvcv_0 04/03/2023 07:01 am Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21597 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 10:43 am The only thing that counts is that it couldn't have occurred during the striking of the coin. Anything else is damage, no matter how it happened. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 1:56 pm Just like a wrecked car. It didn't happen at the factory. Just a spender now. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 7:37 pm Just another corroded coin. Read up on how coins are made, then you should know what PMD is. There is no way any of these were done at the mint. Report this Post to the Staff
Curly82ABN Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 8:47 pm with PMD. There are no processes at the mint which cause this. Acids do great things to metals. Keep searching... Report this Post to the Staff
