This would be PMD?

Whenever I see something odd I'm going to stop to take a look at it a little closer. And of course since I'm in the learning process, this means I come across things that I am my newbie stage cannot really differentiate but I know that it's probably something that's worth nothing. But I'm trying to train my eye for the good and the bad lol So could you guys help me with this please?

DDD - Die Deterioration doubling

 

Basically like the die was bouncing around during the strike? Or parts of the die were damaged? Trying to get a visual of the process

 

Deterioration.. Means it became deteriorated

 

Well yea but that one coin looks stretched. Not getting how DDD contributes to the stretched look of the letters

 

Maybe this will help?

 

What Sal said.

Thanks!

 

I believe what Sal posted is the best explanation for what you are seeing. When you see "stretch marks" moving outward, away from the center of the coin (although some say moving in towards the center), it is almost always due to a worn die.

 

Cool thoughts, y'all are quite informative.
