Hopefully not ! I just made it up for that post - it just popped into my mind........
NDD No Doubt (whatsoever) Damage
Yes, and you just described the damage on the coin. Thanks
John - I just saw this thread and your photos. Based on the edge photo, the coin left the Mint like that - not sure if it is mis-annealed or...
I think I was mis-understood. I too, had never heard the term NVD until I just read this thread this morning. I was just commenting on it - I...
NVD is actually one of the terms also used after MD is explained. It could confuse some, if it's used for minor doubled dies that are DD's, but...
No, it's classic 'mechanical' or 'ejection' doubling. Not an error - a very very very common effect on all dates and denominations.

Yea, I thought for a sec. it might be a bubble, but look at both sides of the coin - lots of contact marks, including just the left of the...
See all the other 'hits' above the date, on the rim, etc? And, the flattened right side of the D mintmark ? Same - contract or hit marks from...

There is at least one 1974 Aluminum Cent out there- Originally in an ICG holder, it was submitted to PCGS and I helped bless it - it's in an...
Yes, it's a nice example of a bit-longer-than-average rim cud.
As per the Red Book (Guide Book of US Coins) 1944-1946 Compositon .950 copper .050 zinc 1947-1958 Compostiion .950 copper .050 tin and zinc...
Because those design elements were raised, as on a normal coin. The flattening of the coin, depending on how or what flattened it, doesn't...
2MH - one of the first things to realize, when you are searching rolls or change for errors, is that just because a coin 'looks' different...
I've seen this effect on other Nickel dates, and I agree with Mike that, like the cent pictured, it's the result of a collar clash.
It's damaged - there's no potential error on it.
