Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 07/24/2023 07:23 am @scoo, yes that sure looks like mechanical damage to me too, perhaps due to a hit from the reeded edge of another coin, such as a quarter.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 07/24/2023 1:20 pm @igwt no, damage is damage. Anything that took place before the coin was struck is an error, anything that took place after the strike would be post mint damage. PSD/PMD are just two words for the same thing (post mint or post strike just a difference in phrasing the same thing) Edited by SamCoin 07/24/2023 1:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
