Im joining the PMD group, also guessing this will come back underweight. |

The coin isn't out of round and the rims look unaffected I agree with this and am leaning towards not PMD, for the middle indent anyways. Has great eye appeal I think. |

Interesting... slightly underweight, but not drastic enough to really guarantee material was removed post mint. Could still be considered a light planchet. Initially, I thought a rotary tool could be the culprit, surfaces smoothed out and then circulated for a number of years. No pressure necessary. This would leave the reverse un-flattened and not leave the coin out of round. If this was a rolling Indentation as pointed out by Adam_E, wouldn't there be some discernible strike weakness on the reverse? I'll let the experts weigh in  |

At the beginning I was thinking the same. But I saw an small die chip over one of the deep edges. (Pictures No 8 and 12).As you can see in the pictures. The die chip still there.

Not a die chip, just moved metal that ended up there.

 you can see the scrape in the closeup. Reverse and rim took a hit, just displaced metal. There would be no die chips on the area in question, being that if it was indeed done prior to strike, it wouldn't have come in contact with the die, if that makes sense. Edited by Ty2020b

IF there was an issue with the collar, it could leave something there, but the die is not affecting that area of a coin. The collar does. If they are flat, then they maybe have been retained inside the coin/collar. But if they are raised, they are moved metal:   |

I am still thinking this is post mint damage.

The precise symmetry of the shapes...can be caused by any accidental or human intended PMD?...  Edited by lainmejia

To me those pictures make it look more post mint. Odd looking rim to say the least. Possibly a vise job.

This is clearly a case of post-strike alteration.
