PMD = Post-Mint Damage (meaning the damage occurred after the coin was minted)
Still no photo. I guess we won't ever get one.
Yep. PMD for sure. The coin definitely did not leave the Mint in that condition.
Are those the only possibilities? I don't think so. Mint employees (those that operate the coin presses) inspect a sample coin every few minutes...

You have what? A Kennedy Half with Lincoln's image stamped into the coin? Or a Lincoln Cent with Kennedy's image stamped into the coin? Either way...
Rotated reverse. Fairly common. Not worth much unless the rotation is excessive.
Uhhhh, I beat both of you. See post #16 above.
That's right. Here is my thread: US Customs Discovers Chinese Fake Trade Dollars
100% fake. Nothing is right on this coin - Washington, eagle, etc.
You should have no problem if you use distilled water. And don't dry the piece by rubbing it with a towel.
One what? 1950 or 1950-D?
