Considering the damage on the rest of the coin, it appears to be just PMD. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I disagree. It looks to me like part of the coin has moved over toward the coin's interior. I don't know if it's the result of a Rim Fin or a delamination. If it were PMD, I wouldn't expect to see intact remnants of the date still visible under the moved metal rim fragment. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I'm curious to see what the final consensus is here lol |

I've always thought that "rim burr" was a loose term. I do believe that it is a rim burr but due to post strike damage, just because it did not happen in the mint makes it no less a rim burr, by definition. There is damage to a few areas of the rim, both obverse and reverse, which leads me to believe it is nothing more than PSD, whenever it happened. As far as there being no or little damage to the date does not mean anything in my opinion, just moved over it and smoothed out over time. Just my Two Cents or in this case five cents.  -makecents-

How could such a structure not be post-strike damage? By definition, the date had to be struck by the die, and then afterwards that rim metal was moved over top of it. If that spar of metal were caused directly by the die, it would have to be a die gouge in the die surface.

In studying the pictures closer, I think the head-on shot gives the impression that bits of the 1 and 9 have survived in that crevice. The angled shot doesn't seem to show that. It just looks crushed.

Looks to be a damaged coin.

I'm thinking PMD, but I could be wrong. Errers and Varietys.

agreed - PMD and side hit after the strike. |

Thank you all for your input. My own research on it finds that rim burrs happen at the time the planchet is cut and generally get struck into the coin. My coin obviously happened post stroke so I believe you all are right about it being PMD. |
