Start of a CUD?
Is this a start of a CUD or a die chip stuck on the rim and gouge under mintmark PMD? It appears it was pre strike the D looks like it's over the hole, if after mintmark would be damaged correct?

Tough to tell. The rim shows either damage in close proximity. It may be a sliver from the damaged rim area.
Or an issue when the coin planchet was getting punched out from copper sheets or, something happened going through the upset mill.
The area around the date may be damage as well. It does not look like the lamination issues I personally have seen in the past.
It's circulated, and anything is possible. Place a coin in a humans hand and weird things happen, intentionally or unintentionally.
What exactly happened to this circulated coin ? A guess is as good as any. Only two things know what really happened, the person who did it and the coin. And the coin isn't talking, so one would need to ask the person.
Yeah, people don't always have all the answers to what happened to a circulated coin. My mindset is, if it's circulated, it's got the 50-50-90 rule applied to it.
50 percent chance it's a mint issue, 50 percent it's PMD. If it's circulated,
it's probably a 90 percent chance of being PMD.Gary Kozera
