just found this searching through some loose change. At first sight I thought PMD however through the loupe it doesn't seem to be. I'm thinking die damage or something was on the die when it struck. Then again I could be totaly wrong (it has happened once) Also the revese shows what is either double die or MD? I don't have a microscope yet so I can only hold the loupe up to my camera phone right now. Hopefully i'll have one by next weekend!
Reverse is Die Deterioration Doubling effect, the motion always goes to the outside, die flow, late die state. The obverse could be a die chip, but that is wrong for both size and shape. Notice the south "image", seems that is displaced metal from a contact, the metal has been piled up, just PMD. George forgot his napkin!
I was leaning towards Die Deterioration on the reverse however I wasn't sure if it might be a clue to the issue on the obverse. Must have just been those pesky wooden teeth Thanks for the input!
The obverse is affected by the reed edge of another coin. (larger in size) The reverse is showing Die Deterioration. So a lot of imagination, PSD and die aging is affecting your coin.
