<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 3368519, member: 59737"]I understand your desired approach, but you're never, ever going to figure things out until you first start out by learning what "right looks like". There are millions of damaged coins out there and you'd have to show us every single type on all different coins before we could finally educate you on the different methods of post mint damage (PMD). It would be much easier to teach you about the minting process and errors and then you can rule it out of the minting process. Much less to learn this way. Here's a great start; I recommend reading them in order:</p><p><a href="https://www.fleur-de-coin.com/articles/modern-minting" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.fleur-de-coin.com/articles/modern-minting" rel="nofollow">https://www.fleur-de-coin.com/articles/modern-minting</a></p><p><a href="https://www.fleur-de-coin.com/articles/blanks-planchets" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.fleur-de-coin.com/articles/blanks-planchets" rel="nofollow">https://www.fleur-de-coin.com/articles/blanks-planchets</a></p><p><a href="https://www.fleur-de-coin.com/articles/coin-striking" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.fleur-de-coin.com/articles/coin-striking" rel="nofollow">https://www.fleur-de-coin.com/articles/coin-striking</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Also, the most common errors we look for are doubling, struck through, die chips and cracks, and delamination. I recommend after reading those links, you read these; they all have great photos and explanations:</p><p><a href="http://www.error-ref.com/doubled-dies/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/doubled-dies/" rel="nofollow">http://www.error-ref.com/doubled-dies/</a></p><p><a href="http://www.error-ref.com/struckthrougherrors/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/struckthrougherrors/" rel="nofollow">http://www.error-ref.com/struckthrougherrors/</a></p><p><a href="http://www.error-ref.com/die-chips/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/die-chips/" rel="nofollow">http://www.error-ref.com/die-chips/</a></p><p><a href="http://www.error-ref.com/die-crack-rim-to-rim/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/die-crack-rim-to-rim/" rel="nofollow">http://www.error-ref.com/die-crack-rim-to-rim/</a></p><p><a href="http://www.error-ref.com/lamination-cracks/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/lamination-cracks/" rel="nofollow">http://www.error-ref.com/lamination-cracks/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
