Please take a look at the photo's provided and help me find out what is going on with the coin. It shows a scratch on the cheek and then a Perfect Upsidedown V raised on the Cheek. Thanks
Looks like post-mint damage to me-- the rut alongside the right part of the V indicates to me that someone dug into the coin after it left the mint.
The area around the V seems to be un touched and the V is Raised and almost perfectly symmetrical. Also look at the horizontal scratch underneath the V, it seems to run across both parts of the v as if the v was stamped on after.
Sorry, but it's PMD. It probably bashed into something and got cut. The second picture clearly shows that it's PMD
its not a cut, it is a raised amount on top. It seems to perfect to be a mistake. also if you bash into something it shouldn't add material to the coin. also what does PMD stand for? Thanks for any more info,
post mint damage=PMD Yup, you got an upside down V there . No way to say what or how that damage occurred . One thing for certain though, it's PMD .
I see a scrape coming up from the left side up past the point. It's impossible to have something raised like that. Well it would only work if it was a canceled die ( http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j220/joeyuk/broadstruckcancelleddie.jpg ), but, it's obviously not. Sorry, you must be mistaken. It cannot be raised like that, unless horribly faked
In other words, someone deliberately did that to the coin after it left the Mint, making it post-mint damage. Unfortunately, post-mint damage usually decreases the value of a coin.
