I'm not sure what word this is , but doesn't look like PMD to me . Going to try n Upload Good enough pics to tell if it's DDO on Collar ATTACH=full]1234142[/ATTACH]
The pix are good enough already for what it is. The marks look only pressed into the copper, not raised, after the coin went through the minting process. If this is correct, something was pressed against the coin with a lot of pressure, causing indentation. I'm no professional coin person, but that's what it looks like happened IMO.
We can only speculate what happened with this coin. Anyways , the Pics are too blurry to assess the issue . Need better Pics Please . Thanks .
I'm trying folks , Idk if it's from another coin bcs the letters aren't backwards , they're facing the right direction
It can make such a sharp/deep impression? So No chance this is a Mint error ? Someone deliberately Put this in a Vice and did this that's only possibility ??..Woh Wohh lol
Yes and no. Deliberately - Yes. In a Vice - No or not necessarily. There are various ways someone could deliberately accomplish this result. Not necessarily restricted to the use of a vice. But one of the most convenient ways is by vice. I could imagine this forum and others like it could possibly sever as a test bed for those trying to accomplish "mint" like errors. If they can create damage that can fool specialists and professionals alike on such a forum, they may then attempt to sell such purposely damaged coins as false genuine mint errors.
Thank You, that is very intriguing people would go to lengths to create a False Error , the fact that it's incuse and reversed substantiates what You're all saying . Thank You to the room for pointing that out . Knowledge is power
No need to overthink this. I used to do this a lot when I was kid. A couple of coins in my pocket and the vise on my Grandfather's workbench. Then use them buy baseball cards or a candy bar at the local corner store. You should see what you can do with Nitric Acid when you have access to a college chem lab.
