I'm hesitant to post this. At first I thought just PMD. But of course I just won't let it pass. How could this happen post strike? Probably looking at it all backwards. .
The metal looks pushed towards the center and piled up higher than the field and on the letters E of WE, top of his head and letters I M of DIME. The outside edge of the rim isn't affected except on the reverse between the I M of DIME. There's other areas with the same issues.
. Like I said I'm probably way off in the head and seeing it all wrong but no worries.
Definitely a damaged coin but looks kind of like many cents that were used in place of a fuse. Looks like an arced current may have melted the coin in the damaged locations.
