Called PMD (Post Minting Damage) If the poster had known that the face had been ground off, he or she probably wouldn’t have referred to the coin as “rare”.

Greenstang Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Quote Interesting to theorize about how it might have gotten that damaged without grinding the rims, too. Probably with a Dremel or similar grinder. Notice how carefully it has been ground down around the hair ribbon and doesn't touch any of the copy.

I think that damaged coins can often have a ton of character that higher grades don't. Albeit, they don't look as nice, but it does give a person a reason to buy any C. Barber designed coin (I mean, why else buy one if not for character? #notafanCBarberdesign), plus giving a purpose to any low-grade coin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you see all the detail the designer intended, it does provide a different perspective on his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
