<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jcuve, post: 796373, member: 13945&quot;]Tuffjump, you&#039;re missing my point.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What I am saying is, just because something cannot be explaned as logical PMD doesn&#039;t mean by default it is a Mint error instead. One needs to try and understand the minting process, the P, S, D system outlined in many books. If you become familar with where an error can occur, one sees a lot of possibilities, yet it is very much finite. A true Mint error can only be explained as a Mint error if it can be explained in the proper terms. Nothing else works. One cannot say, &quot;there&#039;s no way this is PMD, it has to a Mint error instead.&quot; One can also not explain a Mint error as being a Mint error by dening all arguments that something is PMD. PMD could be the result of many years of different abuses one on top of the other and may never make sense to someone. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I disagree on one of your points. There is a line between a mint error and post mint damage. Some collectors disagree as to whether a particular error is collectible or not (maybe due to how common the error is). And some collectors disagree as to whether MD is a Mint error or damage (not post mint damage mind you) as it occurs after the initial strike. If you feel different you are more than free to explain.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And anyone who feels so inclined to examine coins and speculate about PMD is free to do so if one is inclined. Just try and keep it as PMD instead of widly speculating it is a bizarre mint error that defies the process in which coins are minted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
