Jim, I do agree. I also have gotten the most from Jason's post.

Jason is this an example of MDD in God?

Jim...I can answer this in case Jason doesn't make it here soon. The coin you show has hits on the lower parts of the letters. It is not caused my machine damage during the strike. Something just hit the coin in this area and left those marks.

Bob you know I thought the same thing at first but the angels don't line up and there is no residual of copper that you would find like a raised burr. just thinking out loud lol
Jim
Not all hits would leave a raised burr Jim. A shot straight down wouldn't displace metal enough. If you take a look at other coins (especially from mint bags), you will notice some pretty severe coin hits that are nothing more than divots with no raised metal.

Sorry for the late reply - Friday night was family night (and a lunar new year party). I agree with Bob that it took a hit (PSD). For me the real key is the the flattened sections show a straight edge whereas MD is usually the part of the die coming back down on the same section of the stuck coin, so the flattened parts of your coin should have the same curvature from the struck devices (GOD) and not be straight.
