SilverStackerKid: I think emorysky15 meant the zinc rot looks like an S. But I agree with you, as you have told me: mis-punched mint marks stopped in the 1990 : )

Split plating during the strike probably started this event on your coin.

Afraid not, PMD stands for post mint damage. The copper plating was so thin it split at the striking - this allowed air to get to the zinc, a little time went by and the zinc "bubbled up". Keep looking, you might find a few "baddies" but sooner or later you will find a "goodie", when you least expect it. You will gasp. Edited by CoinMasters

Notice the inside of the circle is lower than the rest of the coin and the edge of the circle is raised. The zinc bubble CoinMasters was talking about must have "popped" and the excess metal around the edge was worn during circulation.
