Crazy Clash?

Through some quirk of unimaginable odds, this could have happened at the mint, though it would have the same worth as a similar coin that was manipulated outside the mint. That was why the term "Post Mint Damage" is a bit misleading and the term "Post Strike Damage" is now used to describe such happenings.

This makes sense. It doesn't matter if it happened at the mint or not, only if it was pre or post strike.

Lately, we have seen the edge lettering on the presidential dollar coins being transfer to other areas on both the edge and the fields of the coin itself.

This is very ironic. The very first rolls of uncirculated coins I ever got for searching was a couple rolls of the Lincoln Dollars. I had a few with the edge errors you spoke of and posted to a different forum asking about it. I was told there it was "PMD" and that was that. Being new to this I was in no position to argue, but I had a hard time swallowing that somehow an unopened mint wrapped roll had been tampered with on the very day of issue.

Of course I understand now that he meant "PSD", but at the time I wasn't sure if I was being blown off, or if he actually thought it happened outside of the mint. I feel kinda stupid now for even thinking that, but when you're new it's easy to take things literally when you don't know any different. Thanks for the clarification and I hope more people will adopt the correct acronym for proper circumstance. "PSD" does cover everything, but there is still use for "PMD" where warranted

Many Thanks,
