Maybe acid?

 

Hello! Welcome to CoinTalk..
Could be a chemical reaction from something acidic.

 

Environmental damage?

As you can see, there are countless ways for a coin to be damaged after it leaves the mint.

You received answers from members who are knowledgeable of the minting process. Without getting into details, it's very safe to say that your coin could not have left the mint like that and is not an error. It's a spender

 

Reminds me of my chewed up penny, that I ended up losing: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/19-something-s-cent-id-help.377800/

 

I come across these type of damaged coins every so often. I have a little stack of them in the car that I put aside exclusively for parking meter change.

 

ditto

 

No this coin was minted like this The markings on the coin is not damage

 

Not environmental damage anyway

 

Environmental damage wouldn't cause the coins wording to be sliding across the whole coin Or even stamped on the rim for that matter there's no possible way for wording to be on the rim if it was environmental damage

 

​

 

Would you please explain how this could occur during the minting or die making process?

Is it due to the die or striking?

Would you please clarify what you mean by "wording to be sliding across the whole coin".

What wording do you see on the rims? Based on your pics, the marks appear to be damage. Would you please provide additional information.

 

You're right. Everyone else is wrong.

You should definitely send this one of a kind mint error to either PCGS or NGC to officially authenticate it, grade it, and slab it. It'll be money well spent when you find that you and your family can retire on the proceeds of this amazing find.

 

If you don't like the free information, spend the money and send it to PCGS. The answer will be the same though.
