Looks like PMD to me but I'm no expert............

 

No damage on side or back of coin

 

Looks like a gouge in the rim on your last shot.

 

It's still pmd IMO

 

A rimjob is something differnt.

 

Right on

 

can u tell me what's up with this one?

 

another angle.

 

it is zinc rot and you need to start your own threads for your coins , this is confusing with different coins on one thread

 

About the Lincoln in the first picture. . . IMHO, pmd (rim shots with a small hammer maybe).

 

looks like some kid trying out his new ball peen hammer

 

If you look closely at the first coin you will see that there is a hole in the plating. The zinc underneath has rotted out and the thin copper plating has been flattened as a result.

 

Got it Thanks Zig

 

I agree, good analysis. Just think how few of these pieces of crud cents will survive in the future. Most I have seen found with metal detectors are already corroding away. None will survive except those saved by collectors it seems.

 

the one i had had rotting on the side, i thought the damage on the side meant something different.

 

looking for certain things wrong with the coin is kinda difficult.

 

it could be something else if it were a clad coin or copper cent, but zinc rots easily, and anything trapped under the copper plating can start the zinc to rot, see here for planchet errors http://error-ref.com/part-v--planchet-errors.html, i've found plenty zinc cents rotting away while roll hunting, heres a recent find,

 

search the web for "minting process" an familurize yourself on how coins are made, it will help you pick out things like post mint damage a lot easier once you understand the minting process,

 

Someone please censor this comment before I pee myself laughing.
