Is this a PMD? and HOW?

Just saw this coin. It looks PMD to me but I looked at the head of Jefferson. There is a wave like damage and to me it can only pressed on to the coin. tell me what you think?

PMD. yup. Only the person that did that to the coin would know.

 

"tell me what you think?"

Okay, there isn't any part of that coin that isn't damaged.
That should be pretty clear to just about anyone.
You have posted enough PMD that you should have an idea that it's not an error.
You have been told time & time again that when you see metal pushed above the surfaces of the coin it's PMD.
This gives the appearance that you are not trying or taking the time to learn from the answers you are given.
If you can't get passed the basics of obvious PDM you will have a hard time progressing with the hobby of coin collecting.
The only person that can tell you how it happened is the person that did it.

 

The best advice that I've seen all week!! Thanks

 

Bottle cap sandwich?

 

DEFDAM - Definitely Damaged

As stated. Only the person that damaged it would know. It didn't occur during the minting of the coin.

 

By the way @ARBIE SANTOS
All those photos aren't needed.
1 full size would have worked just fine.

 

He's just showing off his photog skills.

 

It is a simple question. More eyes are better than only 2. I am simply just asking and a yes or no wouldn't take that long. Sometimes, there can be planchet errors that occur. I mean I have heard that debris, brush, staple etc... I was checking for patterns. A pattern that will verify the planchet was damaged before getting struck from the reversal. Sorry, I am posting and maybe will let me know or who knows. I am still trying to research and inspecting the coin very slowly but sure that isnt a rare coin. I did find 2 coins with planchet errors so I know some are not impossible. I have a found a damage coin but the damage is before striking the die into the planchet.

 

so a full Reverse and Obverse photo is okay?

 

Hmmm. Maybe hahaha

 

Just more pocket change that's been to hell and back.

 

As a Jefferson nickel collector, who at one time had an example of every date ,mm,and all major varities ....including one of Felix Schlag 125 proofs that were signed and framed....the Jefferson nickel isn't really that much collected or appreciated.
First of all mintages were for the most part were high. Even the keys aren't hard to find or obtain .
Circulating Jeffersons may be fun to roll search...but a 1940 wore Jefferson may be a hole filler...but really only worth face value.
I personally do feel that nickels are under rated.... but to be honest I know dealers who have no interest in aquiring any for their inventories, as I has sold off many high dollar nickels way below par.
Currently I have a 1946 s ddo its a $600+/- coin graded in 65 and no one will offer me $50 for it.
I do understand that finding a 1930,40,50 coin in a roll is fun....but for the most part worth a nickel!
Franklin half dollars another series that unless they are top pop no one really cares about.
Ive seen dealers pass on a mint state set in a capital holder...why they would only offer melt...for buying the set...and didn't want to upset a customer by making a melt offer.
I still have a full set of ms Jeffersons but have sold off just about all varities, and proofs.
It was fun building the sets....but I actually had more investment in those nickels then I ever would recoup..... fun to collect....but one better not want to try and flip them...as no one other than yourself place much value.

 

Bag marks, reed hits, and PMD have not treated that coin well.

 

Why is it?
That we have asked for simple full size photos since you got here. You have that scope and don't even know how to use it. Scopes are for actual Errors and details on Variety's not every day use.


PFFT really? Only one clear photo of the obverse and reverse?
It works for every other coin that we help with.

Do yourself a favor next time you have a question about a mint Error go look at the coins that are graded as mint state, then ask your question. I am not trying to deter you but you need to heed a little direction if you want to learn.

Yes, I was taking pictures of the PMD and I thought it was a Mint Error. Sorry I am not perfect but no one ever told me not to take many pictures. Here are the examples a found a couple days ago that is an error. I am new to collecting error so that is why I am posting here. Yes, I am using a micro camera and my camera does not take full pictures of the coin because it cannot. It is stuck and fixed on the board and cannot extend it enough to take a full picture.

 

30 close-ups are a bit much @ARBIE SANTOS. "Sorry I am not perfect but no one ever told me not to take many pictures". If you look back in your posts/replies a bit, I do believe I mentioned you only need a full obverse, a reverse and one or two close-ups of the area(s) in question. What ever you used to show a full obverse and reverse of your 1962 D nickel worked.
"and my camera does not take full pictures of the coin because it cannot." Adjust the magnification or "unstick" it from the board and place it on a raised surface.
