I'm trying to determine if this is indeed a minting error or PMD. Any input is appreciated! New to the coin collecting world and having a blast.
Your coin is damaged. It appears that it might have been sheered off in a coin counting machine. The machines that are used at my local grocery store often have coins get stuck in them that come out looking like this.
I am not sure about the Rim issue, could be PMD looks like it was somehow ground down to me, but it's on both sides. I am new so better to listen to the others. I do see "woody" features which is when the mixture of alloys is off-if I got that right. This would be the lines going across the coin.
