I look near the top of the 4 pillars on the right side & see they are different than the others & ALL lines would match up to the top crest if they werent turned down...

Something scraped along the top of the columns and the area above #'s 2,3,4,5. It then turned down crossing #6.This happened after the coin was minted thus the PMD designation. |

For PMD it has a cool look. Kind of looks like the memorial is getting sucked into a vortex  . |

Nothing is gouged & the edges close to and on the said area are all rounded like they were melted into place & not sharp in any way...

Not sure how it would happen. As far as I know about the minting process,there is nothing there that would cause that sort of damage. That's why my thought is PMD. Those are some really great photos by the way!! Edited by Jaymon74

It is nothing more than a damaged coin with a big scrape mark, dwelling on what caused the damage is a fool's errand that will never result in a satisfactory answer.
There is a limited number of ways to cause an error but the number of ways to damage a coin is almost infinite. Learning what can and cannot happen during the minting process allows you to easily determine if something is damage or not.
