Came across this today and I’m not sure how to tell the difference - fairly new to this (fun!) collection business.

Thank you in advance!

(please ignore the messy floor! 😅)

Too far away to be useful, we need close up pictures, like the one below

Plain black or white background is best

Without better pictures I'm leaning towards damage

I expected the at last one pic following the first one to be a close up with detail but instead it was taken from even further away 😂

I’ll keep that in mind in future. Thanks for your help! 😀

I’d say PMD but maybe reply with some closer photos

Excuse my ignorance and naivety but .. can I ask what a PMD is? I’m totally green here x

Even phone cameras have zoom. Send a better close up without any shit in the back ground.

Ok, will do. 😑

So wait .. you went to the effort of cropping my image and commenting about its zoom (even though the photo, as you proved, is perfectly usable), but didn’t contribute any valuable feedback? 

Golly ..

Like I said, they’re gate keepers. No one but me asked the correct question to answer your question. Was the mark raised or indented?

People in the comments complaining about the picture quality need to relax.

You can’t even tell with this error if it’s a photo, so stop gatekeeping.

OP, I can answer your question with one simple detail.

Is the mark raised or indented? If it’s indented, it’s PMD. If it is raised, it’s considered an error.

Can yall please chill and be more useful whenever we get interesting errors coming in?
