PMD (post mint damage) not a mint error.jmo

 

Looks like acid damage.

 

It is.

 

Hi Fast Eddie, thanks for the input, is this a common error

 

or did someone damaged this coin

 

Thats the issue. It isn't an error. It looks like someone has applied acid to the surface AFTER it left the mint.

 

Frank, they abuse these coins this way in high school chemistry classes. This was in some strong acid.

 

Thank you I appreciate the input,will know what to look for in the future

 

Right. That’s the idea, buddy. Good you asked.

 

Your coin looks like it was cleaned with a hi-speed electric wire wheel brush. Note the discoloration from the generation of friction heat.
Your coin also looks to be a 1980-D copper cent and not a 1987-D copper plated zinc cent.
