<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gronnh20, post: 24902401, member: 73224&quot;]Post Mint damage would have to occur after the coin is removed from the hopper.&nbsp; Otherwise, coins showing reeding marks from getting hit by another coin falling into the hopper would be PMD.&nbsp; If the coin did get damaged in the feeder fingers or whatever ejection mechanism got in the way, that was prior to it hitting the hopper.&nbsp; Mint error.</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>If PMD is post ejection from the coining chamber then there is a whole lot of PMD in straight graded holders.&nbsp; Bag marks get a pass but damage during the minting process doesn&#039;t?&nbsp; The coin is as minted when it is ejected into the hopper.&nbsp; What about a die crack?&nbsp; Should that be damage?&nbsp; The die has failed by cracking and that mechanical malfunction shows up as a raised line on the coin.&nbsp; Who doesn&#039;t like a good crack on a coin? </p><p><br /></p><p>All coin errors are some type of failure during the minting process.&nbsp; Some are just cooler than others.</p><p><br /></p><p>My feeder finger comment was meant to further the conversation.&nbsp; I was not there when the grader or PCGS received the coin.&nbsp; Nor am I giving the grader an out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
