99% sure PMD. Tell me it is to make it 100%

I’ve never seen this type of damage before. I’m almost certain it’s post mint damage but I just need some more input to finalize my suspicions. Thanks!

Yep.

That is

• an extremely low grade coin with
• deep gouges on one side and
• struck areas on the corresponding part of the other side flattened and distorted with
• the coin overall out of round

Say again how you've never seen that type of damage before?

It looks like a hobo nickel that never got finished

Nothing in the minting process that could cause that.

i have a morgan half with similar damage the mint has a machine called a waffler that is used to take coins out of circulation of course that was long before your coin or mine but they are similar and people told me someone ran my coin thru a machine long ago .

Barber half

the photo of the reverse actually shows it best - notice how it is out of round where the damage is.

Probably squeezed in a vice. Same with the Barber.
