Right. I know the one in the image isn't and is just zinc-coated steel.
Ok. Last time. Please don't misconstrue my tone here as I am genuinely trying to say this politely and am honestly not trying to be sarcastic in...
I guess I am not being clear. I know and understand everything you said. I know the difference between PMD and non-PMD. I was asking if you would...
Notice the rim on the grey one is copper colored. It is copper
Right. But I am asking do you like error coins that are "damaged" (gouged, scratched, clipped, etc.) during the minting process. I mean a scratch...

Right. I was just asking if you felt the same about error coins "damaged" during the minting process (not PMD). See, for the non-errors I...

I guess it is a cupped broadstrike? (That's what I meant to say, not die cap)
At what point is it considered die capped?
