Can anyone possibly tell me whether the damage on this penny is PMD or possibly a mint error. I found a few of these going through my grandfather's coin collection.
The surface of that coin is the poster child for an over pixelated digital image! I thought when I saw it, oh boy another crappy picture. But no you tricky man you fooled me with a REALLY good picture of the surface of that coin! Good on you. I’m famous for naming coins in my circle. I name this Abe: “Over pixelated Abe” nice coin put it in your named collection Reed
As far as I can see, I agree with Fred, it does look as though applied post-mint plating is, in a manner of speaking, coming apart at the seams, dropping off like flies, taking a hike, putting an egg in its shoe and beating it, i.e., failing.
