H guys came across this odd wheat penny. It doesn’t look like lain old wear and tear made the surface almost completely smooth on the majority of the obverse. The last half of the word liberty is gone. The date is gone except for the tip of a one and maybe the tip of the three and it also looks like it has maybe a cud or maybe that’s just PMD and I’m still not good enough at knowing the difference. Then at the bottom, I found this 2024 dime that is definitely not PMD. I’m just not sure what it is. Any help that could be provided will be greatly appreciated
The main reason is that it is raised and has its own form. Like it is, or was, an object itself before somehow ending up in/on the planchette somehow. You can tell it’s something that is extra, not something that was taken away by a dent, Knick, scratch, applying acid, or any other severe abuse. Something like that takes away not adds to. It’s just plain logic You tell me how you think this little smooth tail shaped thing showed up on the outside of this dime. what is it with coin collectors? 80% of the time I ask a question on a coin forum. There’s always some mart ass that fancies themselves funny in the bunch. Congrats! That was record time!
That settles it then. It's definitely PMD. You dime took a serious hit that moved metal from the rim across the surface. Another big hit left of the P also moved a chunk of metal. I don't know what's going on with the cent but you'll have to post better images of both sides, and not pictures of pixels on your monitor.
Not sure about the first coin but the 2024 coin is PMD. If you look closely at the rim and then again to the left of the P mint mark you can see where the metal has been push from the right to the left side. I will add that you can see a fingerprint on Lincoln.
