Eynatnom Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Found this and really not sure what it is or if it's worth anything. Was hoping to get some opinions and or more details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleRJO Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Just looks like a damaged coin if you are referring to the misshapen appearance. It's what would be referred to as a "parking lot coin". Mike Meenderink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Welcome to the forum That is what is known as PMD ( Post Minting Damage) and has a value of 25 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Whether accidental as in a parking lot coin, or intentional as in someone hammered it from the side with the rim, it is severely damaged and only worth face value. It was certainly not produced in this condition at the Mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooney49 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I hear what you all are saying, I'm a newbie too and learning, but i have a distorted coin like this as well. I was told same thing, but I know on mine,It is smooth, yet looks bent, design pooled and stretched. Is there anyway it has something to do with the striking? I was looking jp a strike through error to compare to my sister's coin and I saw image that resembled mine and this coin found today. it seemed like it could be part of those errors. Just curious what the key point I'm missing that says PMD? I'm just wanting to learn. TYIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 It is PMD because it could not have happened during the striking of the coin which is the only time an error can occur. Anything that happens after that is damage, no matter how it occurred. You have to study on how coins are made and what an actual error is if you are going to be looking for errors. The same goes for varieties which is a whole different thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWB Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Please stop looking at U-tube videos about coin errors. Almost all are lies and gross exaggerations. Members here will help you in any way they can. They will not lie to you, although they might occasionally disagree among themselves. RonnieR131 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P M Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Ride Sally Ride. This coin has been ridden hard and smacked with something tougher than itself. powermad5000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
