I would vote Post Mint Damage. This definitely did not come out of the Mint like that. It was cut by a shear or something like that. You can also see Zinc Rot around the cut, indicating that the Zinc core was exposed from the cut, so it's 100 percent Post Mint Damage. Worth face value.
Errers and Varietys.

Yes looks like PMD to me. I agree with E&V that the planchet likely was not cracked when it left the mint. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Errers and Varietys.
the rot could be from being 22+ years old.
I added a photo of the crack (or cut) at the rim. I would think if someone "cut" it this area would look different. Also note in the first photo the "U" in "TRUST" is whole I think it would have been damaged by any cutting tool.

Also you can see the marks on the edge of the coin that shows it was broken after it was struck. PSD. |

I was not disputing it being PMD just not cut. The marks on the face indicates impact of some type. I think the coin was snapped. |

The crack is along the line of the impact zone, therefore PMD. I don't ever remember seeing a modern coin with a crack without corresponding PMD evidence to explain it. Ancient and medieval coins can have flan * cracks, but that is due to the aging process, for example, silver crystallization, or that the flan was very thin when it was struck, (happens with medieval bracteates). * : note the word "flan", as opposed to 'blank or 'planchet'. |
