schism Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Is this a damaged coin or was this created during the minting process? Help is greatly appreciated. Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Bill347 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 PMD preventable money disfacing, or better known as post mint damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandon Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 This coin is clearly damaged. The raised metal surrounding the gash on the reverse shows that the surface metal was pushed up after the coin was struck. A coin struck through foreign matter wouldn't have all this displaced metal, nor would it be so deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
