Sometimes there just isn't a specific answer.

There are a billion ways to damage anything, including coins. Some you will never know what happened to it.

Most new collectors have the same wrong approach. They find a coin that looks funny, and off they go to make it fit an error. Often they find a similar coin on ebay or Etsy listed for $1,000 (or some other ridiculous number) so they figure they struck gold. This approach is 100% backwards.

Spend a few weeks and learn the minting process. Study. Then you will know what can happen during the minting process. If you know it can't happen during the minting process it's PMD.

That is exactly my point, I may have said it incorrectly, but why call it something if you do not know that is what it is? All it does is confuse the situation.

Dryer Coins, spooning, PMD, if you are not sure, then say you don't know, or that there is no way to tell exactly.

Too many people just want to sound like they know what they are talking about by using lingo. Instead of giving a real answer

And. Not in reply to the quote here but to others on the chat......

Sorry I hurt your feelings. Maybe toughen up a little, I wasn't trying to be mean to you.

Or that you are showing off your knowledge of coin lingo.

There is a link to the Numismatic Glossary on the left side of the page. Perhaps you should spend some time exploring it in order to expand your vocabulary.

@mizz, I'm glad you are continuing to engage with folks on this subject. However, you will see that I have lightly edited your last post to remove coarse language. This forum is meant to be family friendly so please be careful about your choice of words. Thx.
