I am looking at the e pluribus unum. Looks to be an error over where the E should be. Just looking for some clarity. Any thoughts would help or even direction.

That's PMD, not an error.

Thank you, any good reason for the PMD? It is a really noticeable lifting and gash.

It's just a circulation hit - the coin did not leave the mint looking like that.

The fact that there is a gash with raised metal around it shows that it is damage. Something hit the coin pushing the metal up around the gash. If it was something that happened during striking you wouldn't have this, a die chip for instance would be raised with no indentation.

Is this a duplicate topic?
ok Reading back I see that is was and my response got deleted with that topic.. I think a merge would have been a better move.

anyway - (again)

Sorry...just damage as stated.

When people see a crack in a car's windshield, they don't automatically think the car came off of the assembly line that way.

Coins need to be approached in the same common sense way.

Until ebay shyster auctions and clickbait online videos were as ridiculously common as they are, most people didn't let excitement over possibly hitting a jackpot (not saying you specifically are) interfere with seeing coins the same was as they would the windshield mentioned above.

Now it seems everyone is more sensitive to automatically thinking "Rare error coin!" instead of "damaged coin." So we get a LOT of people asking this kind of thing daily.

The reality is almost every odd looking coin is going to be PMD or something inconsequential to the coin hobby.
