It's not mint error. It was intentionally defaced by someone. PMD=Post Mint Damage.

 

Ditto...Altered coin.

 

how would one do something like this??

 

crazy what people waste time doing...
found in my change jar, so no worries here

 

so is that why one portion is so discolored?? maybe hey heated it up then had another coin on top and hit with a hammer or in a vice ??

 

Yes, that's one example. It could be anything. It all depends on how creative one can be.

 

I have way better things to do than make fake stuff... WOW! crazy what people will do.

 

of course I assume some people make good money faking things

 

guess this one goes in the curiosity pile

 

thanks for taking time to educate me on this

 

When I was a kid we made 1914 D's all day long. We sold them to other kids in the neighborhood. And we made good money! We would take 1944 D's and scrape down the sides of the first 4 and made it look like a one. Then we took erasers and smoothed down the scratch marks. Volia! 1914 D

 

Very ingenious young boys!! Ha-ha

I have heard of doing that to get a 1914d

 

I suppose as much as some coins bring, it would be lucrative to semilate such things and sell to unsuspecting people

 

It happens all the time on ebay. Buyer beware.

 

I

I Never buy raw coins., accept in rolls.. Which aren't totally safe either.
I try to anylize the wrapper as much as the coins on the ends

 

That's a good habit to get into.

 

Even the ones with Flying Eagles or Indian Heads on the ends!!! (sarcasm)

 

Ha-ha.. Oh I love those.. But I ask lots of questions.. And cap my spending even if coin is amazing. Try to cut my losses up front
