I'm well aware of placement on the coin on both sides. Metal movement has a distinct look even smashed the obverse should display characteristics of that metal displacement. However the metal has a formed appearance not a displaced look. That's what's throwing me off.

If you gouge, hit, or scratch a coin you will see some metal movement - if you press down on it with something it will leave a depression without visible metal movement.
If still in doubt - sent it out! (To a TPGr)

EDIT: spelling

Damage from the sealing machine at the mint,PSD.
Just because the obverse is different from the reverse doesn't mean one is not damage too. The sealing machine has a knurling gear on the top and a flat gear on the bottom. Kind of like when a sewing machine sews, the top and bottom don't look the same. But it doesn't matter, in your mind it's an error, so send it in. Be sure to come back here to show us the results.
