<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 4855443, member: 84179&quot;]One concern is looking at an anomalous mark and thinking “I can’t explain how this PMD could occur, so it must be an error”.&nbsp; You need to provide a theory/explanation of how the defect could occur during the minting process.&nbsp; There are countless ways for a coin to be damaged after it leaves the mint, but the minting and die making process is well documented and understood, so the mechanism causing the error should be identifiable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bag marks from reeded edge impacts have been known and documented for years (Morgan dollars anyone) and experienced members have pointed out that there is displaced metal caused by a hit or impact.&nbsp;&nbsp; While it’s nice to hope your longshot will hit, unless you can come up with a theory on how this can occur during the minting process, you&#039;re just making a sucker bet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
