I got 2 rolls of 2011-D cents from a local store...ALL were spanking brand new coins, all of which pretty much showed as being struck with the same dies, with the same pattern of die flow lines, and markers..I did start to see a lot of hairline scratches, from what I would think are ejection issues...then, I found 2 coins with serious damage, this one being the worst...since this came from a BU roll, I am leaning away from PMD, although it helps my case, just because ALL coins from a roll are BU, it does not prove a thing with a single coin, I know this..there is no reason to believe this is a garage job, since it was not found in a roll of circulated coins, again, no way to prove either way!...a violent collision occurred here, and, where the worst damage is, and, the rim is concave, from extreme pressure exterted onto area..the clue here may be the area that looks curved, reverse, from E in AMERICA, running through A, up to rim..it looks like a second strike....I'll let the pics do the talking here, as I am unsure what happened..the obverse shows severe damage also, the worst being on the same opposing side as reverse..probably need to see in hand, this one.. Thanks for looking! Calvin G.     |

Looks like it got scraped on a sidewalk.

From what I understand, the mint does not roll up the coins, so it is likely that this coin suffered damage either in transit to whoever rolls the coins, or even at the rolling facility itself. I'm sure coins can get jammed up in the rolling machines and have all sorts of damage.

maybe it fell on the floor at the rolling facility, and, got run over by a forklift..someone picked it up, and threw it in the bin...PMFD(Post Mint Forklift Damage!)...well, it was fun to try and shoot this one..
Thanks for the input..off to more hunting

Not an error, just mangled and damaged.

I agree - not an error, just severely damaged after the fact.
