Off metal strike?
What do you mean by "off"? Another metal type than usual? Ah, ok I see now, thank you.

Click the words: : "off metal strike". It is a link.
If the link is not working, here is the address:

I don't think it's off metal strike, that information would be under the grade in a PCGS mint error holder.
OP, could you please give us a little more context to answer this question? What's the point of blocking out almost all the information on the slab?

OMS has nothing to do with PCGS Mint Error coins.
MAYBE if we saw what the coin is, and the label,
we could answer the question.

USAF (Ret) 1974 - 1994 - The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. Remembering RickO, a brother in arms.
I think it is an electrical term, for kilowatts per hectare or something....
I took a 'shot' at defining "OMS" based off this image.
Note - this is NOT an image supplied by the OP.
Hopefully, the OP will post another image with more details, like you and @FredWeinberg suggested.
Regardless of the final forum consensus, I will learn something new.

I will post the coin, but not just yet, I bought it but not yet sent. Maybe when I see its on the way.(paranoia, I know)

Original Mint Set? Would certainly apply if a whole set was submitted at once.

Need a personalized album made? Design it on the website below and I'll build it for you.

You didn't ask the seller before you bought it?
See http://www.doubledimes.com for a free online reference for US twenty-cent pieces
my guess is everyone would be wise to think about the term in the context of 1984. I don't have an answer, but I like the Original Mint Set suggestion.
This must be a trick question
That is a very interesting image, have not seen that before!

I did not see OMS on the PCGS Lingo page.

No, but later I was thinking that it is odd because I could not find what that means or any other coin with OMS on the slab.

Mystery presented, mystery solved.... Isn't this a great forum? Cheers, RickO
"OMS" was a new acronym for me.
I LOVE this forum. Always learning something new.
Is this an OMS Proof?
curtosey of the link(s) via @MsMorrisine, you can see the pcgs deisgnation of OMS is on the same line as the description, implying to me at least that OMS is either off-metal strike or something very similar for the designation of improper planchet for the year/type/date. does this mean that acronym has not been used in other context with numismatics, no.
Struck on CuNi Planchet OMS - verbatim.
normal version
They keep throwing terms at us.
Maybe one of these days I'll catch one.
Did anyone else notice the OM on the left center of the coin?
OM=OH MAN!

that

M

It has nothing to do with coins, but on the space shuttle, when the external tank (the orange tank underneath the belly of the shuttle) was jettisoned, the three main rocket engines of the shuttle no longer had any fuel. The shuttle when it launched ALWAYS jettisoned the external tank when the shuttle and tank were a few miles an hour BELOW orbital speed. That way the tank would de-orbit, e.g. burn up, in a known uninhabited area. I believe generally, although I am not sure, this was somewhere in the Indian Ocean.
The OMS, or the Orbital Maneuvering System, were the two rockets on the space shuttle that were actually used to push the shuttle the last few miles an hour to get into orbit, and then once in orbit to change orbits etc. They were housed in 2 blisters on the sides of the (vertical) stabilizer. Each rocket produced 6,000 pounds of thrust.
In this picture of Atlantis landing you can see the two OMS engine bells in their "blisters" at the tail end of the shuttle.
U.S. Type Set
so the OMS somehow relates to moon money?
Coin is on the way so now I feel safe to post it:
And the winner is @MetroD (who found it on the Great Internet in 5 minutes) ! Well, he doesnt win the coin, just the contest to solve the mystery
