    Odd, It does seem to show some traces of a double strike on this side as well, but the weak mushyness seems very unusual for a US Mint coin. I would wonder if it might be a double struck contemporary counterfeit.

    Wow.. that is one BAD fake! Oh... and don't worry, our Chinese friends counterfeit just about every collectible coin. However, they do a much better job than your example, which looks like an older (and quite crude) cast replica.

    Is there another thread with additional info about this coin?

    I don't see anything that would make me think it's a fake. It could just be environmental damage. I would like to see a pic of the obverse if possible. It would make it easier to conclude what is wrong with the coin.
