Looks suspiciously like a dropped partial 9…best guess…imo…Spark

Looks like PMD to me. I could be wong though.

 

I looked at it earlier. What I question is the weird damage to the upraised rim.
I also thought Dropped element but I can't say that it definitely could be.

 

The rim was scraped and what looks like a 9 is the left over metal.
PMD

 

Thanks for your responses. I don't think left over metal could so uniformly form the 9 we see.

 

Is the part that looks like a nine raised or incuse?

 

It sure didn't happen at the mint. You have PMD (rim) that is touching this curved metal. Where would it, or could it have come from?
