    2015 d errorcent.jpg error cents 2015d reverse.jpg Hi all, I was going through some change today. I found a 2015 D cent, that looks like an error. On the obverse, I noticed what I presumed to be pmd. but when I flipped it over I found this! what is this? I am puzzled over this one. I still think its pmd?

    Yeah, this is a good example of what I think of as "PMD by process of elimination." In other words, think about how this could have possibly happened during the minting process. If you can't think of anything, it's probably PMD. This does require some understanding of the minting process, so it's not 100% reliable unless you're very well educated on how coins are made. I get it wrong frequently because I have a lot to learn. :)

    I was pretty excited, but I thought... it couldn't be an error. The strike is not even close to the right pressure or letter and design orientation . Guess someone just goofing around. Well, I,ll spend it.... and let someone else find it...LOL

    Then we get to say, "Not only have we seen this before, we've seen this exact coin before." :)

    Where was one of those posted? These are plainly from the original poster's camera - they even still have embedded EXIF data and were shot this afternoon (I use a Chrome plugin called EXIF Viewer that displays EXIF data if present). Further, Google Image Search does not return any other results, and with that we'd likely know even if the OP posted it at another forum today.

    Lol, some days I think we should rename this to the PMD Forum. :)

    I think I hear a wooshing sound overhead.... :p

    If that be true (now that I think about it), at least I can take solace in the fact that the OP missed it too. :)
