Sure looks like PMD to me.

The only thing that made me wonder was the lump of metal extending from the rim over UNITED.

Quote: the lump of metal extending from the rim over UNITED My assumption was that this was displaced from the rim while it was being abraded or ground down. I don't think that it is a lam or planchet crack, for example.

Yeah I can see a line separating it from the rim now that I look. Kind of like it was gouged out then folded over and compressed.

It's Post Strike Damage (happened after it left the U.S. Mint). Something crushed it, causing the metal to get displaced and pushed in.
Errers and Varietys.

If you got a new car, took it home and hit it with a sledge hammer, would that make you car an error from the factory? No. Same with this coin. Someone took out the frustrations on it.

Coop, I bet some brutal force was used to damage this coin.
