zeewool Pillar of the Community 3660 Posts	Posted 07/03/2010 10:24 am I really don't know what the exact nomenclature of the PMD may have been. Probably would have had to have been there at the time of occurrence. Planchet flaw would have filled in 'to a certain extent' in strike. The edges of the depression do not indicate flow. The depth of this depression coupled with the fact that design is visible are the key. Strike thru would not have left the impression of the wreath, feather lines, and legs visible. (Strike thru 'anything' means that the 'anything' is between the planchet and the die). If an obstruction of this depth were to occur in strike, the only impression would be that of the obstruction, not the die design that never touched the planchet. Report this Post to the Staff

j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 07/04/2010 08:34 am Thank you, Conder...I'm sticking with strike error rather than PMD. Edited by j_h_s 07/04/2010 08:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
Dcreek1968 Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 07/04/2010 08:46 am Don't believe it is post mint damage. The continuation of the strike through the "ditch" on the coin indicates to me that it is something that happened in the minting process perhaps from interference (something between the planchet and the die). So I would call it a strike error, but as to price.....the coin is obviously circulated, maybe a low EF. Not a key date so worth about $15-$20 wholesale, maybe. AS to the error, maybe add another $20-$25, but you'd have to be an error collector to really appreciate it. If the guy got $65, I'd say he did OK, but I would not pay that for it. Just my $.02. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or in this case the "holder". Thanks for posting. Report this Post to the Staff
