[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3129946, member: 77814"]If you found my humor offensive then I apologize. I was actually reading about raccoons so subject was fresh in my mind. But my point was correlated to the "[U]probability[/U]". We could add multiple links to how the Die creation, Minting process, etc occurs but that would be a very lengthy post or which many of us do not have the time. Dies do get worn and may make things look like something is there that isn't. But they are based on a Master Die ... so numbers or anything just don't get created without it being across a larger handful of coins (assuming quality inspection doesn't get it). And coins have a hard life once they lead the mint. The older the coin, the higher the probability some damage occurs to it. I started writing all the things that can happen to coins but that got really lengthy. We have a Post your PMD coins thread if you wish to look for it and see other oddities. We also recently had another poster suggest their coin was an error. They took it to their expert and found out it wasn't; just PMD. Good luck.[/QUOTE]
