Catdog New Member Australia 3 Posts	Posted 07/20/2024 01:15 am Hi all, I'm new to coin collecting and came across this $1 coin. I haven't been able to find any information on how to tell the difference between a damage in production and PMD. Thank you for your time and I'm happy to learn. Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Pillar of the Community United States 9897 Posts	Posted 07/20/2024 11:18 am When people see a crack in a car's windshield, they don't automatically think the car came off of the assembly line that way. Coins need to be approached in the same common sense way. Until ebay shyster auctions and clickbait online videos were as ridiculously common as they are, most people didn't let excitement over possibly hitting a jackpot (not saying you specifically are) interfere with seeing coins the same was as they would the windshield mentioned above. Now it seems everyone is more sensitive to automatically thinking "Rare error coin!" instead of "damaged coin" (not saying you specifically are). So we get a LOT of people asking this kind of thing daily. The reality is almost every odd looking coin is going to be PMD or something inconsequential to the coin hobby.

Catdog New Member Australia 3 Posts	Posted 07/21/2024 4:22 pm Thanks everyone. I thought the sides were bashed up but thought the squashed date was weird. I didn't realise parts of coins could 'slide around' if that makes sense. :-) :-) Report this Post to the Staff
