<p>[QUOTE="non_cents, post: 1814434, member: 30970"]But if it were a damaged planchet, surely it would have been flattened out once it entered the striking chamber and was put in between 2 steel dies with many tons of force? I personally can't see it being anything other than post-mint damage...too many things are present that indicate damage and not an error, including apparent damage to the rim. That would almost automatically qualify it as PMD, as the rims are formed when the coin is struck, as subsequent damage to them would mean that damage occurred after the coin was struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>bridgelanc1, if you want to send it to an expert, you can contact people like john wexler at doubleddie.com, James Wiles at varietyvista, bob piazza at copper coins.com, or maybe an error expert will chime in on the thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
