I have a coin that seems to have some damage. I've heard the term 'post mint damage' before, but I'm not sure what it means. Can someone explain what post mint damage is and how it affects a coin's value?

Mutilated coins have been severely damaged, often to the point of being unrecognizable. Flattened coins, on the other hand, have been pressed or crushed, causing them to lose their original shape.

Post-mint damage refers to coins that have undergone some form of deterioration after they have been officially minted and released into circulation.

These coins may have suffered from various types of damage, including being gouged, which means they have been scratched or dug into with a sharp object.

Another common form of post-mint damage is scraping, where the surface of the coin has been rubbed away, exposing the metal beneath.
