-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8774 Posts	Posted 05/12/2024 5:09 pm Looks like someone tried to use it as a screwdriver, twisting the metal on the face of each rim over to the edge. PMD, none the less. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74533 Posts	Posted 05/12/2024 5:41 pm It's definitely PMD. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
munch_311 Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 05/12/2024 7:52 pm I'm going to hold on to it never the less, but I turned it different angles & still couldn't find where that metal came from. The drag is not continuous to the extra metal Report this Post to the Staff

You can easily see the extra metal came from the face of the rim, plowing it onto the side of the coin. Very simple PMD. Loss of metal on the rim, pushed to the edge of the coin, "the third side".
