Welcome to Cointalk I can't tell you how it was done but I can tell you that it isn't a Mint Error it is PMD (post mint damage). IMO Dave
Well I wasn't there at the scene of the crime but it looks like a felony to me. A.K.A., it's just damage.
Damaged after the Mint.. Thank you for showing your clean fingernails.. You won't believe the awful nails we see all the time Welcome to CoinTalk!
When it comes to your appearance, there's no better advice you can get than from @paddyman98. He's our resident manicurist, and all-around sharp-dressed man.
welcome to CT erica, and remember to hold your coins by the edge, you dont want fingerprints all over your coins..
Someone damaged it. Metal wires etc probably got pressed on to it as it pushed the obverse side out. Why? who knows, you'd have to be there to know exactly why. fyi, my daughter took a hammer to a quarter and made it octagon-ish shaped the other day for some artsy stuff. I should teach her how to use the drill press ...
