wow, a lot of wear; PMD. I wonder what it got stuck in.

 

I have no clue....I've been holding on to it for sometime. ...Doing research on what type of error it has ....really needing help

 

It appears you might have a dryer coin PMD (Post Mint Damage). This is not a mint error.IMO

It could have been caught in a dryer, but it is not a Mint error.

It's not an error.

 

Hmm. ..I had sent out an email to Fred Weinberg...who replied that it is possibly damaged....I guess he meant not as it having a error. ....so I must of read it wrong....

 

It's not an error.
The minting process is fairly straight forward.

There are only a handful of things that can cause errors in the minting process.

But an unlimited amount of things that can happen to change/coins/currency once it's in circulation. It would be virtually impossible to list everything that could happen to coins in a non-error website/book.

Okay, I'm just going to throw this out there - Fred Weinberg has a business to run. He also gets many hundreds of emails like this a day. Stop a moment - do you think that's fair to expect of him? YIKES! Some people have no idea!

 

PMD = Post Mint Damage. ie, it was damaged after it left the US Mint.

 

I wasn't meaning it like that in anyway....I usually ask him. ..Bc he had bought a coin from me a few years back which had a broadstrike error on it. ....but I was referring to mis-reading his reply

 

I am going with sand blasted !

 

Could have also been rock tumbled for a week.

 

Non-error
You should of asked us first!

 

I've got an 82D small date copper doubled die I need you to look at...

 

... or a 82D date small copper, or something. I'm no expert and I was drinking as I watched YouTube.

 

^^^ This.... That is a sandblasted dime. The guys at the body shop were testing airflows and the dime was the sacrificial test piece.

 

Yeah! There are other specialists who will charge you a fee just to tell you that your coin is PMD! Why don't you send it to them?

It's free to post questions here and ask us, and is worth as much or more than what it costs...

 

Often the former, but sometimes the latter....
