Please don't misunderstand. I don't expect anyone to be sorry.  . I already determined it was PMD on my own. Still peculiar. I really would have expected the ground down metal to be shiny and metallic in color. But thank you for clearing up that it doesn't come straight from mint. I'm just shocked it fit into the roll, but I got a nickel out of a penny roll the other day as well, so I guess I shouldnt be shocked any longer. lol |

If it was jammed in a counting machine it will look damaged like this. Not a mint error, the rims were there when the coin was struck. Altered post strike.

Also, PMD aside, it may be very unlucky that it occured on this coin, because in the area I have circled here, there appears to be the date 2 2 with the same size numbers and spacing as the 2022 50cent piece. Maybe I am mistaking though.  |

Nothing here. You're seeing animal shapes in the clouds.

Lol. I see things in clouds trees and all in between. BUT. Am I truly hallucinating here? It is of course a possibility.  |

You asked about why no zinc showing. If this was ground down the zinc would show. I think this was smashed, at the same time rubbed to the west. It stretched the metal and thinned it out. And with the new type of rolling coins, they wrap the paper around the coins, instead of putting them in a tube.

Whelp! Cujohn, just said what I was about to. Not enough of the copper plating was ground off to expose the zinc core (well except to that one silvery looking spot at the top of the reverse.

Not the devices on 'IN"? If it were struck that way, it would be that tall. Just a damaged coin. If the outer edge is altered, it was damaged post strike The collar contains the outer edge of the coin to be round with the rim present. Not there, it is a damaged (altered) coin.
