From these pictures can you tell if this is a defective planchet or some other damage?

Where did you come across it?

 

Roll searching a box from Loomis.

 

My guess is PMD. It'd be pretty strange to make it around in circulation for 7 years like that.

 

This might be one for Mike Diamond. There are mint errors that can cause such things as seen on the coins in this article-

Do you full coin shots?

 

It'd be super cool if it turned out to be an actual error. Fingers crossed for ya.

 

Rats in the counting room?

 

Here are full coin pictures not the best but I hope they help.

 

Thanks I hope it is.

 

From what I see, it is PMD. The devices should bevel into the missing parts if it came from the mint. I see no evidence of any beveling.

 

Obverse looks like Pac-Man.

 

post mint damage, extreme zinc rot.....

 

As others have said, this is zinc rot. It's not a mint error.
