Looks to be Post Mint Damage?

to CCF.It does look like post mint damage. A pic of the front might help.

PMD, but perhaps a tiny amount of zinc rot may have made this area slightly more sensitive to damage.

At first glance, I would say it's PMD.
However, I can't give any definitive conclusion until I see the obverse.

I agree with PSD. The rim is bent and this would not happen from a mint error. The taller parts of the design is press inward, another evidence of coin alteration.

Welcome to the forum. A lot of good reading in the threads. Use the search for topics you wonder about.

Thanks for the information.

I will get a photo of the obverse up. After I get home from work.

I am stationed in Guam. So please bear with me on responses.
