My instinct is PMD, but the lines are too straight and look to symmetrical for a person to perfectly search the coin. The point of the vertical and horizontal line also not creating a pit or hole. Curiosity yes, what is is might be both PMD and Rim issues? Thoughts welcomed on this coins reverse.

They're deep scratches from PMD.

Correct, PMD. I believe a TPG would body bag this as 'Graffiti' as the deep scratches appear to be intentionally made.

Always go by your first instinct. You will be right most of the time. Yes, it is PMD
