    1964 D Nickel Error? or PMD?

    Hole on each side. Just wondering if it was manmade or happened at the mint





    Thanks!

    Definitely post strike damage, as you can see it on both sides. If this were something struck into the planchet, the reverse would have completely normal detail. Damage on the opposing side is usually a clear sign of applied pressure. Even if the coin had been on a flat surface when the alteration occurred, there would be evidence of damage on the reverse.
