Purty durn blurry but looks man-made PMD. Please post in-focus pictures.

Definitely post-mint damage. Study the info at the site Sal posted to identify true mint errors. @SensibleSal66 Also, study the minting process and how dies are made at John Wexler’s site (doubleddie.com). Learning from these 2 sources will save you tons of time and money and help you become a better collector.

The minting process produces coins in a finite, well-documented procedure.
PMD occurs in an infinite number of ways that, sometimes, only the person who did it knows how it happened. Study and research will enable you to learn how to tell the difference… @Dale Adams

 

Ruptured Gas Bubbles from mint?

 

Definitely damaged and not from gas bubbles.

 

pure damage
