<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 3560370, member: 99642&quot;]Daulton, it&#039;s what we call DEF DAM (Definitely Damaged).&nbsp; It IS PMD, as you suggest.&nbsp; It is NOT an error.&nbsp; It is NOT the least bit rare. We see coins like that all the time, that is why one of our more knowledgeable members coined the phrase DEF DAM.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you were to put a penny on the concrete sidewalk, then step on it and use the bottom of your shoe to skid/scuff it along the sidewalk, you would get a similar result.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you have a Red Book yet? If you don&#039;t, you should get one. It will teach you a lot about what kind of errors to look for.</p><p><br /></p><p>No offense Daulton, but right now, if you think stuff like that is/are errors, then you are searching blind.</p><p>Get the Red Book and let it open your eyes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s more info and sources.
