    The first coin is a 1986 and I was wondering if this is a broadstrike. The second coin I posted I know is PMD, but I see this exact same circular damage on so many that I know there must be a common source. Roller/crimpler damage perhaps?

    Example 1: extreme die deterioration (as seen on clad Lincolns)
    Example 2: counting machine (roller) mark damage

    Thanks. Just wanted to put it to rest, because everytime I see one I wonder what exactly caused it.

    Thanks. As for Example 1, is that sort of extremem deterioration considered an error or collectable?

    Not that I am aware of.

    BTW a broadstruck coin will have a greater outside dimension than a normal coin

    The first coin is die deterioration and the second coin is post mint damage from a rolling machine
