<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 8266028, member: 84179&quot;]Concentrate on how a coin coin like this could be struck by a die at the mint.&nbsp; Simple answer is IT CAN&#039;T.&nbsp; The die wouldn&#039;t be in any condition to make that coin.&nbsp; Also it&#039;s not a capped die strike or resembles any known struck through capped die that I have ever seen in the last 30+ years of studying errors and the minting process.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>All errors and varieties <b>must</b> be explained as to how the occur during the minting process.&nbsp; If it can&#039;t be done, then it&#039;s just one of a multitude of PMD coins.<u> I would suggest you work on providing a reasonable explanation of how this strike could occur at the mint before going down the path that it&#039;s some new and undiscovered transitional piece</u>.</p><p><br /></p><p>The PMD explanations of grit blasting, acid etching, abrasion, or even heat damage to a zinc cent are much more plausible than a new , exceptional discovery.&nbsp; Regardless of the cause of the PMD, it&#039;s still PMD.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are still absolutely convinced you have something, getting it attributed by a TPG is essential.&nbsp; It would be wasting your money, in my opinion, but that will carry a lot more credibility than ongoing discussions on a chat board.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
