Yes that is purposeful damage, which is a shame.

Agree--not die cracks, but post strike damage of an intentional nature.

@Mistim693 -  - As mentioned above, deliberate damage to this coin, nothing to do with die cracks. .  |

This is PMD and I cringe at this type of damage along with the counter stamp type of damage. |

Great photos of a vandalized coin.
Someone, long ago, either had anger issues or ran out of small animals to abuse.

To CCF! These are scratches, not Die Cracks. A Die Crack would be raised, not Incused. PMD. Errers and Varietys.

to CCF. These marks are very deep intentional gouges. |

When I see damage like this, my eyes slowly go down to the date while I'm thinking "Please don't be a key-date, please don't be a key date". So, if there is a silver lining, the damage nulled the value of a common date, rather than a key date.

Severe damage from graffiti. Fortunately, the perpetrator only destroyed the value of a coin worth no more than a dollar.
