I found this in my Dad's coin hoard and it looks to me like it could be some form of struck-through or catastrophic die damage. I don't think this is post-mint damage.
coin is slightly convex on the obverse side. Some elements are sharp, some are unusually smooth and some are missing. The rim looks flattened.
Reverse has several design elements missing and is slightly concave.
The glop at the base of the bust on the obverse has a corresponding glop on the reverse northwest of the O in One.
Do you concur this is likely not post-mint damage, and would it be worthwhile sending it in to be graded and evaluated?
If you need me to post additional pics, please feel free to ask.
It is PMD. There is no way that could happen during the striking of the coin. Look at how the rims are flattened out. Certainly not worth sending out to be graded.
