Mint error or PMD?

Love it!

 

Let me guess. The "what's it worth", machine doubling and circulation wear & tear is getting to you.

 

Only a Lunatic would see an error..

Lunatic is an antiquated term referring to a person who is seen as mentally ill, dangerous, foolish, or crazy—conditions once attributed to "lunacy." The word derives from lunaticus meaning "of the moon" or "moonstruck".

 

That's it! It's a lunamatic pareidolia mint error!

Etsy, here I come! The "expurts" at CoinTalk confirmed it. It's not a mundane DD, MD, RPM, DDO, RPD, DDR PMD, MAD, or even an EIEIO error.

It's worth millyuns . . . . .

You forgot MAD

 

You had to argue a bit more Zoid, like 3 or 4 pages of back and forth denial, saying everyone is crazy or blind, and at least one offer to cover the TPG fees.

 

FIFY . . . .

Regrets. I forgot the obligatory enlargements . . .

FIFYT . . . .

Regrets #2: I'm fresh out of arrows and green squiggly lines . . .

Very cool!

 

Lunacy is perfectly correct, in this case.

All 3 (coins?) are depictions of the bright side of Earth’s Moon, Luna. The feature at 1 o’clock (on all 3) is the Crater named for the famous astronomer Copernicus.

I don’t know what mint made them, but not the US Mint. And the features are way too uniform to be carvings, but I could be wrong about that...Spark

BTW, the answer to your question was : neither.

 

Z,
The last photo is the most descriptive. The shot is perfectly focused to highlight the large indentations, which are maybe most likely highly indicative of absolutely perhaps a mint error.
Great find! Please show us more.

 

Dang,

I forgot photos of the reverse . . . .

Obligatory thumbnails of course . . . .

Moon

 

Where's the Blue Moon?

 

You all forgot the best word of all, DUH... Happy New Year everyone.

 

I was just getting ready to ask where the reverse pics were!!

 

Hey! Hey! Hey! Keep politics out of this. The golfer might be watching.

 

It t'was a bit more pricey than these. I wanted to get these in hand to evaluate their quality before biting off that much expense.

Maybe after the new year . . .
