Some of the wear may be PMD, but on reverse there is clearly something going on that could be mint error. The part over the "GAN" in "Michigan" is RAISED.

The area you mention over Michigan on the reverse is raised because it is pushed up from the rim of the coin. When a coin is bent out of shape like this, it will be PMD everytime, it just can't happen in the dies. Report this Post to the Staff

At first I thought the same thing, it must've been bent/raised on "GAN" and worn smooth flush with rim. But I just don't see that the more I look at it. Isn't there EXTRA metal there not just distorted, like a large slab-like die chip? Report this Post to the Staff

jvcv_0 Valued Member United States 180 Posts	Posted 04/11/2023 08:08 am Thanks for the information and replies. If I had to bet I would still say the metal is raised to a height and at an angle that could only be from a die error. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97914 Posts	Posted 04/11/2023 08:52 am Sorry, all damage. The GAN of Michigan is just opposite the damage that is also noted on the obverse. a big hit in that region (as well as the rest of the quarter too) Collecting since 1972.
