Too small to be a rim bur. Possible struck through a piece of thin wire? Probably about as thick as dental floss. Looks like it is barbed a bit, the incuse areas in the trench. It would be a minor error.

Seem to be a mirror strike. Look that the coin was strike after the first. For this year I do not thing happened to offen. Is clear that the curve was strike before the coin strike. Nice find.

Thanks coop and silviosi. The indentations kinda sold it for me. When I started collecting around 2018 I saved almost everything unless it looked like clear PMD. Looks like this was a good save |

I'm leaning towards the "Pressed Edge" theory above. It looks like the deepest point of damage is at the top of the arch, with the rim keeping the damage from the field area at K:9. This would seem to show the the second coin was slightly tilted when it was pressed into this coin. If it were struck through I would expect the channel to be a single line of even depth and width, not tapered to a point at each end of it's arch. Just my Two Cents worth. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Thanks Yokozuna and Coinfrog. That does make a lot of sense. Could be PMD. Thanks to all for comments and info |

Question: Was the opposite side showing a bending outwards from the hit on the obverse?

Interesting experiment Dearborn. If the coin you struck has an indentation as clean as this one you may have solved the issue

Question: Was the opposite side showing a bending outwards from the hit on the obverse? Well coop, I see no bending on the reverse, but then I only had to give it a light rap with the hammer. I'll post up the reverse image of the same test coin. The design I chose is a bit busy (I didn't think of finding a better coin with a clear field. It is what it is. There is no bending. If you compare the top of the arc on the obv the the bottom of the arc on the rev. NEAR the rim where the Oklahoma word is you will note a normal flatness. as opposed to the gouge in the same spot on the obv.   Funny thing though, I picked a quarter that does not show any copper on the reeded edge.. It is A 'D' coin.  |

Now, I did go through several quarters to get the desired effect. and looking back on them, There was a bending of the coin noticed on the reverse..
