Was given this back in change after paying lunch. Is this a PMD? Thanks    |

It is an indent strike error, another planchet was overlapping that one when it was struck. Nice find  Edited by biokemist6

Thanks biokemist6,
It's funny how I make my monthly trips to the banks to buy rolls of pennies to search. Then I go to lunch, pay my bill and handed this in return for change. Ever since I have joined this community, I am constantly looking at every coin I receive because you just never know.
Thanks

I see an incuse "O" (from ONE). So it's a partial brockage error. Not a common find in pocket change at all.

I've found my share of errors but never have found one of those. Nice find!

As Mike stated you can see the O as well as parts of the
memorial. But how would the brockage cause both the split
and upper curvature ?

Now I see that, I thought it was uniface  Partial brockage is a much better error  |

I think it's was done with a hammer. It was not done at mint 100% sure.

Mike Diamond is the one most experts turn to for answers when it comes to error coins so the chance is pretty good that if he says its a mint error, its a mint error. Even though I think what he see's is the C from CENT instead of the O from ONE, because I can see the E from one next to the crescent shape and the C is where it looks like the C in CENT would be. But it may be my eyes playing tricks on me and he is correct. Either way one heck of a find from circulation Edited by kanoftuna

The OP's coin is a legitimate mint error. To show the difference between that and a garage job, I've showing the one I got taken on a while ago. Notice how the damage shows on the obverse. The OP's has no such damage.   |
