Yes. I've never seen that before, and the metal lines flow with the letter edges. That's what peaked my interest. I've seen tons of md coins, but never one like this.

Moved metal generally means it was done post mint. Interesting.
More thinking...
Based upon moved metal along the periphery of the coin then it leads me to think coin roller/crimper damage.
Strike Doubling/MD- with some damage. First thought was Die Deterioration Doubling which also is not a true doubles die. Quarters produce a significant amount of MD in this fashion and also nickels provide a wild amount of both what I just mentioned Bc the alloy is much softer.

Seeing moved metal.

Full color pic of the full coin may help.
I'll try to get better pics tonight. Thank you for your feedback!

Machine Doubling can look good.
