    Obviously cut with shears -

    ....and the memorial one has
    schmutzem on it, like many coins
    that spend time in circulation.

    If I can see it's PMD, you can see it's PMD.

    This is the rare struck with shear error and mind you much rarer than the struck through. I think you may have something there and if I may be so bold, I would suggest sending it in express service.

    Edited to add: This must be extremely rare as I have never, ever seen any of the experts or error collectors post it before.

    Nice score, Donato

    Cents acquire all sorts of pmd. As a new collector, time well spent is to use the Google and read about mint errors and other kinds of damage. This sad cent is pmd. Peace Roy

    PMD...no doubt about it.... Nothing even remotely resembling that would come out of the mint. Cheers, RickO

    Two suggestions:

    1) spend some time on the internet learning about the minting process, which will help understand which sorts of things can or can't be legitimate errors.

    2) take some coins and various tools and beat, hammer, cut, and grind some coins. You will learn the what and how of PMD.

    That's what I did many years ago and it really helps you to understand things.

    Hi @cherrypickerrrrr
    If you are actually serious about the coins you are posting, you would stop clogging the forums with your threads and start reading and doing research!
    MANY well respected members have already politely encouraged you to do some research and reading before generating multiple threads about worthless coins.
    Until you make an effort your posts are just spam spam spam and eggs. See Google.com for coin information and definition of “internet troll”
