1944 Wheat - Need help identifying

I've had this one in my Collection for a while and never knew if this is in fact an error or damage. The extra copper is aged as much as the coin but it is an old coin so i'm stumped. Any help is much appreciated!

It's damaged.

 

someone at some time in its life tested a center punch on it....

 

PMD - Post Mint Damage. Something was pushed into it from the back.

 

Hey Fred, thank you for the quick response. Good to know, i'm curious what they used to make this occur. due to the Patina it was done a long time ago.

 

Its PMD but it's pretty cool the obverse

Awesome, that makes sense. Thanks for the help. you guys are awesome

 

It does catch the eye, and the coin is still intact. i will hang onto it as a conversation piece now that i know more about how it was damaged. unfortunately i don't think there is any premiums for damage lol

 

something like this...

 

I originally thought this could have been a foreign Object on the reverse of the die due to his beard and other details being intact on the obverse.

 

Wow you found that fast. It looks exactly like the mark. Thank you for researching this, amazing job.
