Die Adjustment

That looks like PMD. Someone shaved off most of this coin's design, or maybe it went through the laundry. If it wasn't, it would be more of a strike through rather than die adjustment marks. Die adjustment marks ceased to exist in the mid to late 19th century. The mint got things down pat after that and there was no need.

Die adjustment marks?  Do you mean adjustment marks to the planchet? Those disappeared in the early 19th century. (They still adjusted the planchets but rather than stroking the file across the face of the planchet they rolled the edge of the planchet against the file so the marks wouldn't be visible post strike.)
