With the picture presented, there does not appear to be any flattening on the adjacent rim. It's just a bit too hard for me to call it PMD or not at this stage. Is that area inside the rim on the reverse raised or lowered? The bit extending out seems to be lower than the rim on both sides. If it is not Post Mint Damage, I have not seen an error like this one before. Perhaps some others may have differing opinions to mine. Report this Post to the Staff

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
