It looks like the mm may have been stamped on the left bump on the torch. Also, from the U across the e and stem looks like it was the die and not pmd. But that's why I'm asking!
Could someone humor me on the break though? My thought process was that if it were PMD it wouldn't look like it had just came from the mint. I'll be at the rest of the coin is very worn down but I can't see how that significant of a break would have happened post mint.
The fact that it is not as worn as the rest of the coin is further proof that it happened more recently. It is just a deep gouge.
The old DDO on the Quarter @Islander80-83, old but nice. Nothing wrong with looking for your interest but you do need to understand what your looking for or at. On the OP's dime, that is damage, newer PMD if you ask me. The high parts on the coin are all worn but the area in question exhibits sharp raised edges. A sign of newer PMD. Welcome to CT.
When someone thinks that damage is a Mint error, then they shouldn't be looking for Mint errors. For some reason, I thought I was speaking to the OP in my original post. Have you changed your username? Chris
Not to my knowledge, but this is the only part i find interesting. Please take a look at the "In God We Trust". I'll stop posting questions after this.
You quoted my post that was directed to *Islander80-83*. What does the damage on IGWT of this quarter have to do with the dime in your original post? Chris
The o and the d in god. There's no center to the r and the last T is shorter than the rest of the letters. So that's all PMD? Im trying to understand this as stated before, i inherited these. A month ago. Im trying to establish a connection to something someone left behind to me. Sorry that this causes you aficionados such contempt.
If you really want to learn, then you need to "shed" the thin skin, because you will get a lot of answers that don't meet your expectations. Just because I've given you a matter-of-fact response doesn't mean that I have any contempt for you. Granted, you may have inherited these coins, but that doesn't mean that they are anything special. We get heirs here quite often who are in the same situation. However, what you have shown us is nothing more than circulation damage. Once you learn about the minting process and have looked at tens of thousands of coins, you will begin to understand. Chris
