darn, that is a shame that it is such a low grade!

I donno.

Interesting tho.

Obverse v reverse, could be a MAD (Mis-Aligned Die).
Plus something on the reverse.

Vandalized outside the Mint. The grooves on the obverse, the flattening on both faces, and the fact that the coin is expanded and out-of-round makes this an obvious call.

Yep--a very old "vise job" or possibly recent and re-toned. I'm sure the edge would show signs of flattening as Mike Diamond noted.
