Ill try to get a better picture... I've turned it around with all different types of lighting and does not look like it's from dents/scratches. I am new to this, but I've looked up all sorts of PMD examples and none look like this. |

Very odd looking but am inclined to agree with a damaged coin (misplaced metal). I've been looking for where it came from, possibly another coin. To get a different reply, you would have to have a much clearer pic. On a different note, the west side of your memorial shows the "recurring die subsidence error". Here's a link. https://www.error-ref.com/recurring...dence-error/-makecents-

I respect the verdict. Ya'll know may more than me for sure. I'll probably just take it to a coin shop and have them take a look at it under the scope. The shape, the texture, the color... I just feel like heat would have to be involved or something to make it rise and form that way. Thanks for taking the time to look it over though!

It looks like a contact hit from a reeded edge of a larger coin (quarter, half dollar)

If you want to catch a rainbow trout, you need to know what a rainbow trout is. If you want to find an error coin, you have to know what an actual mint error is. Most odd looking things on coins are just post mint damage ( PMD) Save Yourself time, effort, and disappointment...don't learn the coin hobby backwards.  Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage or useless Machine Doubling, Die Deterioration, etc. Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like. A good way to start is, for instance, separate a bunch of pennies by date. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins.
