Curious how this coin has a significant deformity only on one side.
Id expect to see similar formation on the opposite side of the coin if it was struck with a hammer or put in a vice. Even the fine groves that run around the edge of the coin show no signs of impact or being crushed. Could this be a mint defect?

Add a left bracket "[" before "img" at the beginning of the statement and a right bracket after "/img" at the end.

Looks like PMD (Post Mint Damage) to me but the pic is not all that clear. I don't think I have ever heard of any minting errors for that coin before either. It would be pretty cool if it was a minting error though.
