PMD In A Proof Set??

It happens, I guess.  Got it directly from the Mint years ago.  I was in the unopened OGP'ing for years......   until I opened it.

It's like someone took a screwdriver to it.  Oh well.

That's very strange.  BUT....it's never been out of the Proof Set case right?

Correct.

Okay.  I am no professional coin expert but my take is:  It was done at the Mint.  Just a guess but if you say it was in OGP until you took it out what else could it be?  BTW:  that's the oddest* mark on a coin I've seen.

*Is this a word?

Yes, there's no doubt in my mind it happened at the Mint or where ever the Mint does their packaging putting these proof sets and other Mint produces together.

I could say that there is terrible quality control and all the mints.  But, the Mint has done hundreds and hundreds of millions (probably trillions) of these sets and other Mint produces over the years. Problems, mistakes and errors are bound to happen.  

But when you see things like these, you have to ask yourself.......is the Mint production area like a construction site??  Yes, it's a small rock or stone!! :roflmao:

Scraped by the packaging machine back in '77.

Okay, that works for me.  Thanks!

Dang that sucks TJ.

I know, it's crazy!!  I guess things like that happen.  It was a cheap set anyway, no big deal.
