Intention: a search
Result: inadvertently started new thread
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".

I do not know the answer to your question but thought id post anyways
BST Transactions (as the seller): Collectall, GRANDAM, epcjimi1, wondercoin, jmski52, wheathoarder, jay1187, jdsueu, grote15, airplanenut, bigole
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

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 !
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 !
