Johnny1328 Valued Member United States 268 Posts	Posted 01/15/2011 4:41 pm I was looking at some mint sets that I have and I found this 1978 Dime. What happened? Report this Post to the Staff

razorear Pillar of the Community United States 613 Posts	Posted 01/15/2011 9:25 pm It was damaged after the strike, so I would think it would still be classified as PMD even though its in a mint set. Its hard to tell what caused it, probably wreckless mint workers. Report this Post to the Staff
scotty11 Pillar of the Community United States 1042 Posts	Posted 01/15/2011 10:30 pm possibly caused because the coin was too close to the edge during the wrapping of the cello packaging? Report this Post to the Staff

scotty11 Pillar of the Community United States 1042 Posts	Posted 01/15/2011 11:28 pm If that is the case, would it still be considered as "post" mint damage? I say yes. But if it stays inside the cello, it's still a very nice "keeper" imho. Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 01/15/2011 11:33 pm A mint error occurs in the minting process. Anything that happens after the coin is struck including packaging is post mint damage even if it happens while still at the mint. I agree this is just damage from the packaging machine.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/15/2011 11:50 pm In most years mint set coins really do not differ in any way from any other business strike coin. They are just handled and packaged differently. Weak strikes are prevalent in most years' mint sets. The big draw to mint sets are coins that have no bag marks - because they were never in bags.
