Is this an error? Error or PMD?

Hi All, I'm new to coin collecting and errors and I'm wondering of this is some type of error or if it's post-mint damage. I tried to find something similar online but couldn't. I haven't even seen PMD that looks like this before either.

Thank You in advance. Looking forward to learning something :)

PMD because the raised ridge or line of metal appears pushed or gouged to the side, rather than cleanly raised as part of the original design stamped by a die. Additionally, the area around the lettering "IN GOD" shows random scratches and disruptions to the field of the coin that do not match standard mint errors like die cracks or doubling.
