Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 07/29/2011 09:37 am I think the best way to learn that if something is PMD on a coin is to go out and damage some coins for yourself. I know I damaged quite a few when I was a kid. Hit them with hammers, with rocks, with a BB gun. Dip them in acid. Take a file or a dremel tool to them. Stack up three or four and squeeze them in a vise. See what happens! Take a close look at coins you pick up out of parking lots to see what damage being ground against asphalt for a week does. Then, learn how the actual minting process works, and what can and can not happen at the mint. Once you know how genuine errors and varieties can occur, it's a piece of cake to tell what is just damage. Dave Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 07/29/2011 12:43 pm I have seen a few of your earlier posts and all (except for two) show Post Mint Damaged coins and you think they are errors. I want to suggest to you to learn what a true error looks like before you start buying coins or you are going to have a pile of coins that are not worth anything but face value and have allot more than that in the coins if you don't. Its something we all have to learn but it is necessary if you want to collect coins. Anything that happened to the coin after it was minted is not an error but Post Mint Damage and adds no value to the coin and actually decreases collector value Report this Post to the Staff
ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 07/29/2011 1:59 pm There are videos and some good posts that show coin manufacturing processes that will help determine what can and cannot be a mint error. This is a good one, a little dated but gives you the gist of it: http://books.google.com/books?id=Ry...coin&f=false Report this Post to the Staff
