1989 p nickel

Is this an error or PKD? I have to be more specific when I post a picture! I think it's starting to irritate other members for just showing my finds!

Circulation wear and tear

 

I think she was trying to type PMD but hit the letter K above the M on the keyboard

 

All I see as stated is a regular circulated nickel I can only assume that PKD you meant PMD right.

Where did you find it?

 

Maybe some Die deterioration or dies slightly out of parallel causing the weaker rims. Not unusual on nickels from the 80's.

BTW: Nothing wrong with sharing your finds. Just note that you're sharing and not asking for ID help.

Also, it may help if you questions are a little more specific. For example "Is the weak rim on the obverse and reverse due to PMD or something in the minting process?"

 

Just a thought.
I see weak areas of the rim on BOTH sides BUT not opposite each other.
Is it possible that the coin was struck shortly after the press run was set up and final adjustments in die alignment were necessary?

 

I have been told that the secret to finding gold is you have to go through a lot of dirt. The second secret is...you are not looking for the dirt...!

 

Hey sis. Ask your questions. If they don't like it they can not answer. That simple. Enjoy your coins and share you finds

 

Thanks Paddyman98! They were being funny because they know what it was supposed to be!

 

Thanks Cheech9712! I thought this was supposed to be fun?

 

Gotcha Oldhoopster! BTW thanks!

Right! I'm sure you knew that right!
