<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3375199, member: 84179&quot;]You’re asking the wrong question.&nbsp; You want to ask “How could this occur at the mint?” </p><p><br /></p><p>There are multitudes of ways for a coin to pick up damage in the real world, but during the minting process, the number of ways an error can occur is limited and can be explained.&nbsp; So focus on how this could occur at the mint and don’t get hung up on “I can’t explain how this could be PMD, so it must be an error”</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t come up with an explanation of how it could occur at the mint.&nbsp; It can&#039;t be a doubled die or RPD because the line does not follow the any contour of the digit.&nbsp; A strike through would be extremely unlikely because the line doesn&#039;t travel beyond the 2.&nbsp; Any debris would have to fit perfectly in the recessed 2 on the die.&nbsp; Filled die?&nbsp; Doesn&#039;t look raised and it is unlikely it would form a straight line.&nbsp; Since I can&#039;t explain how the mint could make this, nor have others been able to offer a plausible explanation, it must be PMD</p><p><br /></p><p>There is always room for additional research, especially since you have the coin in hand, but remember, you need some compelling information to show it&#039;s a mint error[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
