The edges of the scratch are raised.
Had it been a strike through an object would be pressed into the coin by a solid block of hardened steel under many tons of pressure. The surface around the area in question would be as flat as it is on a normal coin

And once again, for the newcomers: there is no such thing as "mint damage". There's "damage", also called "post-mint damage" to emphasize that it's not a mint error, and there are mint errors and varieties - some of which can look like "damage", but they're not called that.
In this case, the issue for debate is whether that ugly gash across the reverse is a mint error (strikethrough) or merely an ugly gash caused by somebody vandalizing the coin. In this case, the evidence is clearly pointing towards the ugly gash theory.
When a sharp object like a screwdriver or knife is scraped across the surface of a coin, the furrow created by the blade pushes metal out, creating "ridges" of metal either side of the furrow. These ridges are clearly seen on your coin. With a strikethrough, there isn't any actual displacement of metal, so no such ridges are created.
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

WADR, Coins do get damaged right after being minted: Ptmp=no post-strike damage before leaving the mint building.When a coin gets damaged after leaving the mint building it is PMD= post mint damage aka circulation damage,IMHO. John1  |

PSD. (Post Dtrike Damage) This is a great example of why I try to always use PSD. I read a post that clarified it for me. There was confusion among newer members that thought it wasn't damage if it happened at the mint building and thought PMD stood for damage after it left the mint building. " PSD" clarifies it in my mind and refers to any damage after the coin is struck ("minted"). Using " PSD" (Post Strike Damage) avoids confusion in that regard, even though PMD is what we tend to see/hear the most. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
