The mark on the reverse corresponds with the obverse so it is PMD. John1  |

tell me hoew metel rippled up right there and there in know shine in the ripple like any damaged metel whould show I think skrew driver would at least rip into the top coat of the coin and leav it shiny in every deep corner of the damage I could be wrong but its just a thought that I think when metel to metal in forced to geather I dont think any body could be that good in not damaging the top coat on the coin and makinf it smooth dull when pounded like that its not somthing that happens like that there in no shine to any part of this coins top layer

The coin is damaged post-mint, and not an error, sorry. WHenever you see a "Dent" in a coin, and a corresponding "lump" on the other side, it means that something has been pushed into the coin after it was already struck.
Damage like this can happen in two basic ways: quickly, or slowly. Quickly, by someone striking it (like with a hammer and chisel), or slowly, by placing it underneath something very heavy (like the leg of a table or other piece of furniture), and leaving it there for several decades.
There is no process in the Mint that can go wrong and create an "error coin" that looks like this.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Please try to rotate your images you post so that they are upright, Also please crop them properly. This way you can present more coin and less background. I did this to your images:   |

I do however, agree that this is intentional damage. This big gouge on Washington's face has moved metal around to compensate for the 'canyon' created by a tool of some sort.

Post strike damaged. Not a mint error. (All U.S. coins 1965-1967 coins did not have mintmarks) Why? This was when the silver was being pulled from circulation (Then the value was 4 Times face value for silver content, now more than that!) and to prevent coin collectors from pulling so many coins from circulation the current years, they had no mintmarks. How do I know that? I lived through that time. Get a cold soda for 10 cents. But minimum wage then was $1.00 per hour. So things were not all good/bad.

to the CCF Agreed this is damage done by someone after the coin left the mint. |

I agree with everyone about this being PSD/PMD. Something odd that Dearborn's image highlights are the slight misalignment of the damage on both sides. I've added lines to his images to show this. The red line represents the top of the damage on the obverse which is much lower than the damage on the reverse. Just a curiosity that seems odd to me. (EDIT: Maybe it's just the fact that the two images are slightly rotated in opposite directions that is causing this.)   Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
