Because the metal is pushed up like that, I think it got squashed pretty hard.

You would think SilverStackerKid, but, then you would think the reverse would be affected, too?

Yep, squashed (probably deliberately) against a protected reverse, my best guess. Quite a sight!

Because it did not hit hard enough to push metal inward, only to push it outward.

I don't think it would look like that. The reverse would also look affected if it was effected by heat. Unless you were sarcastic or something.

Depending on the weight, a tool like this could have removed metal without damaging the reverse and if dull would have pushed up some metal at the edge. Why , would be a different issue  |

A routing bit on a dremal tool is what's in that picture. Maybe.. the why we would never know.

Note on the reverse, the rim is out of round. PSD |

Coop, do you have an educated guess as to what might have caused that?

It is almost impossible to tell. It is anyone's guess.

You got yourself a 913 D penny. It kind of reminds me of this one. We'll never know what happened to either one, but we do know they're both PSD.  |

It may have been heated or something very hot was placed on it that melted/moved the area in question. Note how the field curls upward in front of the face?

Yes, I see how it curls up. Thanks everyone for your thoughts. Yeah, I've had some coins that you can definitely tell it's PMD. |

There is a movement in Numismadia to switch from PMD to PSD. Post strike damage is a much clearer term than post mint. Often something happens to a coin after the strike, yet before it leaves the mint. PMD can be confusing. SilverStackerKid composed a very nice editorial on it recently. I recommend reading it. |
