Post strike damage. No doubt. Someone playing with metal shears or the like.
How would that happen at the Mint?
The indentations are randomly spaced so it must be PMD. It looks like someone with a large set of pliers was squeezing this coin from the edges for some strange reason.

Definitely PMD... No mint process would produce such damage. Cheers, RickO
Put it on eBay. Perhaps you'll find someone who agrees with you.

Nope. Post mint damage.
The rimd are pushed in by the tool used to compress the coin. They are "intact" because they weren't cut. If you'll pay $1 each, I'll make you as many as you want.
You don't believe any of us, spend the $60 and send it in. Then you can argue with PCGS also.
Damaged
Many thanks Fred
Aliens 👽 with extremely strong grip force tried to pick it up off the bar. Some joker had super glued it to the surface. The dents you see are the clawprints of the individual Gray that tried to lift it. It would be worth 50 colombs on Alpha Centari just for the laughs it would get.
Anyone got a better explanation?

No need to stare at it for long periods of time or use high magnification. It doesn't matter what you think you see, if it can't be explained as occurring in the minting process, it can't be an error.
The biggest mistake people make is thinking that they have something because they can't explain how the damage could occur. A coin can be be damaged in numerous, unimaginable ways, but there are only certain things that can happen at the mint
BTW, it's not "mint damage" unless the Alien in question worked for the Denver Mint.
Last time I checked, all Aliens 👽 were working for the Post Office.
