I'm leaning toward PMD on this one but just not sure if it is some kind of split planchet error. This thing was tough to get a good picture of. Opinions are welcome, thanks!

    Second year of issue, rough shape, and seen a lot of commerce, and still ticking.

    It is hard to tell from all the wear , but the thickness of reverse letters looks very similar to a well worn QDR, quadruple die reverse.

    That appears to be PMD.... Cheers, RickO

    No need to lean --- it's falling-over damage. ;)

    There is damage but you are asking about the edge aren't you? What does the edge look like around the entire coin? Is there a gap that you can slide a sheet of paper into? If there is, then they call it a clamshell. If it is solid it could be a partial collar strike ... or just damage.

    The edge appears to be part of the damage,
    and not a clamshell split, at least from what
    I can see in the edge photo.

    And, it's not a partial collar error - look at
    12:00 on the reverse, and at 6:00 obv.
    That's all damage, and not a partial collar error.
