Hi all, I found this interesting penny. Is this a perfect gouge? Did someone purposefully do a little "artwork"? Or did I stumble across a mint error? My logic is in that order, but hope in reverse order.

Definitely PMD. You can see how the displaced metal is raised above the coin.

Definitely a gouge. By "perfect", do you mean like the "perfect storm"?

Yes, PMD gouge. As gouges go, an interesting one.

Gouge is on the coin, not the die. Just damage to the coin.
