Here are images of a 1970-D Jefferson Nickel with obverse double Cuds but the coin also has other problems that I can't determine the cause. Note the pitting near forehead and the nose that looks broken. Reverse shows pitting (damage?) lower left from Monticello to UNITED. Welcome opinions on this damage - PMD or mint error?

Don't think it's damage it's fragments of the broken die struck through

Edit BTW Nice Error

Looks struck thru, maybe from the chips of the broken die.

Some of issues are also related to weakness in areas of strike due to the cuds.

I would say that there is a good chance that that is correct, though I would want to see the piece in hand to be sure.
