Question: Is this PMD or what ?

The metal extrudes on the obverse, and the revers shows no indication of heat or tooling or manipulation of metal in any way.
The item only recently was purchased in a collection. I first tossed this aside thinking it was just "junk". Another fellow looked at it and said he wasn't sure it was junk. He said it looked like "cauliflower ear". image

    Almost looks like damage in front of his chin and of course behind the ear. Maybe a planchet problem on the
    latter? Is the reverse normal looking?

    Could it be an air bubble that got pushed in- in the middle, creating the divot? i have seen one or two air pockets on clad coins before that puff up.

    so, id say the answer is BOTH

    I've seen fairy rings in the ground, but never on a clad dime. I would say this coin was in some sort of fire and caused this rupture.

    It does not appear to be a die error and any planchet error would not leave the striking chamber looking like that. I have seen heat manipulated coins that have an up swelling of metal on just one side and this very well could be just that.

    I feel it's PMD the obverse left field sure looks like heat was applied and that might be trapped gas that moved to the right.

    Actually I think that whole area was most likely raised like a bubble when hot and afterward the center retracted once cooled off.

    Personally, I could never understand why some folks get into such a lather about starting a new thread, when there supposedly exists some archived thread from
    decades ago on the same subject....News Flash ! Not all of us have browsers that support searching the dusty history of this forum ! AND, there is quite often
    a serious need here for SOMEBODY to start interesting threads on discussable topics....even if there may or may not have been a discussion already at one time, years ago !image

    Now, I do get it when we have 2 or 3 threads going at once on some boring topic (usually mint product related) and it appears that new threads are being created by folks who haven't even bothered to check page one and see if the topic is already clogging up bandwidth...now THAT chaps my hide !image

    I don't know what it is, or what caused it, but it is grotesque.

    Looks very much like one of my many split and broken crowns and molars... Looking down from the top.. Yep....

    PMD --- pre molar damage-- very expensive as well.
