I was thinking Coin Wrapping Machine for the concentric scrapes, but that's a good point.

The center swirl on Reverse reminds me of coin dispenser markings; you know the old school ball park hot dog vendor thingys. Coin could have got jammed in one and enough force applied - AKA hammer to the lever - to cause some PMD by the push out arm. Thats all I got !!!

Sorry. Hope I'm not to much.

I noticed that also Jon in the center. Also the top of his head/hair looks odd ( poofy?) towards the rim?

Easier said than done, trying to center a coin. lol I had to touch in between shakes.

Here's a little different angle and light.
Also wondering about those reversed ( rim fins)?
If it was a device that took coins. I think it would have to have a pretty good handle to spin. If it was crushed where did the metal go? Those (fins) isn't enough to cover the area. But maybe so and how did they get there?
Okay. I'll stop.

It seems to me that the perimeter of the coin was pinched after the coin left the mint. Later circulation presumably pushed up an elevation along the outside of the pinched metal on both faces. I cannot entirely rule out damage to the blank (i.e., pre-upset). However, if this were the case, I feel that the two "lips" on the edge would have been flattened down to a greater extent by both upsetting and the strike.

The photo of the rim and edge that is just west of the E in EPU indicates PMD I believe. That area is directly opposite the feature and shows flattening damage where the coin was braced for whatever pinched and crimped the metal in question.

Thank you all for your comments and opinions.
I'll put it down as one of those maybe ( not sure).

@Coinhi.
I thought the same thing at first. But to put something braced on that side so to pinch the other side on both sides of the coin, just thought it would've caused more damage there. The rim is only pushed in a small amount on the reverse side. I'm still wondering, how did the letters get pulled away in sort of a straight line from the curvature of the rim on both sides? To move that much metal would've taken a lot of pressure. ( Even if that was possible.)

I really appreciate everyone's help, on all the questions I come up with for the coins I post.

Thanks. Rob
