PMD on both sides.

PMD a strike through will not dent the surface on the opposite side of the coin

The physical deformities should tell you immediately that it is post mint damage. The amount of force used to strike a coin properly while it is in the collar properly will always produce a coin that is flat. If this coin were flat with those type of defects, you would then have cause to take a closer look to see if it is damage or a strike through.
