This happened after the coin was struck, so it cannot be an error.

@ Dough 101........What makes you think this is anything other than PMD?

Sure looks like it took a hit. Not one in a billion, just PMD.

Agree with all above--post-strike damage.

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. People have been sensitized by online shysters so that the idea of "Rare error coin," instead of "How was this coin damaged?" is very prevalent. Don't feel badly b/c you are not alone. :D 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.

Our hobby is festering in appalling lack of numismatic education. The first purchase anyone should make when entering the hobby . A reference coin book , such as The Red Book . Two hours spent immersed in its Contents , 100 per cent better than 20 hours roll hunting or watching You Tube mis information.

I agree with some others. I know it can be exciting when you see a coin on ebay for $5000 and it looks like yours, but you must look at stuff like this more logically. Your other posts paint much the same story. I'm not insulting you or anything, I'm just trying to covey a message that I wish I could've heard long ago. Prime example --> https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ss...nlionexpress Good luck looking for true errors!
