Is this simply PMD? The cut looks too perfect from ceiling to top of roof. What do you guys think?    |

I think it's PMD. Might be a contact mark from another coin. |

@SA, yes looks like PMD to me because the displaced metal has been smushed to down and to the left. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Well (IMHO) it may be something more. The area on either side looks pretty clean (may be from wear though) and I can see see part of the design element (roof line) there as well. But, it does seem pretty deep as well. Just throwing it out there?

@CC, yes of course this forum is a great place to challenge each other's opinions with a minimum of snark.  If not PMD, then what are you thinking about why there is this linear mark on the rev? Walk me through what happened during the striking process. Maybe a strike-through or is there something else that you are considering? "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Sorry forgot to put it in - my thought was a possible struck Through. I have only found a couple myself. Part of what I learned is to look at the area around it. In this case it seems pretty smooth on both sides, but like I put in my post above it could be smoothed down now just from circulation. The other thing that I was taught to look for is the presence of the original design element if you can see it then the possibility would exist for this occurrence. I do not know all the inner workings of the coin process, and I don't think it is a requirement to know it just to state my opinion. I go by indicators that I have learned here from people on forum. That is why it is my opinion. It is fun to go back and forth on opinions on the "What Is It" and "The How" people like me learn from all of those comments.

Ok yes it will be interesting to hear what others say so that we can come to a consensus on this. I had considered that this could be an example of strike-through, but the piled up metal below the linear defect points me in the direction of PMD. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

This is why in my opinion, it is PMD. First, it seem s pretty deep for a struck through. Then there is what appears to be a "chunk" missing on the top and there are small pieces of misplaced metal closer to the bottom.  |

I was thinking Post Strike damage, as well from a well placed hit, but it'll be interesting in what the others have to say.
Errers and Varietys.
