Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 05/16/2010 10:16 pm PMD = Post Mint Damage, and I agree with the coin being a slot machine coin. The small dings all over the surfaces is a dead giveaway. Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 05/16/2010 10:19 pm That's a classic slot machine coin. Edge is constantly pounded as it falls in the till, eliminating the reeding eventually. Numerous contact marks almost has a " Dryer Coin" look. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
L1011 Valued Member United States 300 Posts	Posted 05/16/2010 11:08 pm In the 1st and 3rd edge views, it does appear to have some history of a reeded rim, and too it's a '92, been out there 18 years, I've seen Kens more slick than that Edited by L1011 05/16/2010 11:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
mrwisker Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 05/17/2010 08:41 am Ok thanks... I never did think this one was a "gold mine" It is interesting to hear a possible back story on how this happened. As I have no idea how this coin came into my possesion, I know that I didn't give more than face value for it.(pre collecting though) In all reality, My daughter found it somewhere in the house. Interesting none the less Report this Post to the Staff
