1983 D Penny With Die Chip Issue?

It looks like it's just PMD.

Yep, that's what it stands for. You got that one correct.

Nice photos. It makes it so much easier to answer your questions. Keep searching.

It may be PMD but, to me, looks a little too clean and too much like struck-through debris to discount so quickly. I don't see any associated damage from something that could have caused that and I don't see deformation of the S around the anomaly.

If we are to attribute this anomaly to the strike, the first hurdle is to figure out how the die was filled so exactly in that one spot. Don't forget, a positive on the coin is a negative on the die, so something had to exist in the die on that spot, strong enough to prevent metal fill at 100 tons of pressure without losing its' shape since the edges are so sharp.

On the other hand, PMD would mean we would almost have to see displaced metal somewhere, and the detail images are sufficient to make that problematic except for what looks like just a little ridge at the "top" of the feature.

Interesting coin.
