1888 morgan, error or PMD?

It looks like there is some raised and displaced metal, which would indicate PMD

Looks like some kind of hit it took - PMD

Yeah, I saw the raised metal but thought it was just the bottom of the 8.

Look at the edge. If it is a little flat and/or the reeds are damaged it is a sure bet it is indeed PMD

Not my coin, just a photo I have captured.

That's OK, I was totally looking at the spot at top above the U, I completely missed the date area untill I saw the enlarged picture. (darn bad eyesight )

It is the bottom of the 8.

Do you have a picture of the reverse?

PMD to me.

I seem to be wrong on these more than right.
Looks like damage. Besides the previously mentioned moved and above the surface 'metal', What in the striking process would cause the second 8 to be wider/ fatter? Especially noticeable in the central area where the upper and lower loops are coming together.
Lets see if I can make this too big.

It is PMD... substantial hit on the date, also made the 8 spread.... Cheers, RickO
