Is the artifact 'raised' above the coin field? Or... is it a depressed area on both sides?
Looks raised.
Optical illusion huh. Yes the obverse and the reverse are both depressed thanks for the replies
Someone from the mint would know if it was a pin off the machine press as you rotate the coin 180 "degrees the pin looking marks are right in line with each other on both sides
That does not pass the 'common sense' test....both sides indented, same orientation... I am leaning toward PMD on this one....Cheers, RickO
PMD IMO
Count me in the group with post mint damage also.
If it's depressed, it's PMD
Sure is depressing...
It appears that there are surface disruptions at the ends of the imorint, and also, if it were some sort of "pin" on the planchet then it would have been struck entirely into the coin.
All signs point to PMD.
There appears the be raised, displaced metal around parts of the dents. That's a giveaway it was caused by an impact and not a strike through
