I found this in pocket, I tried to find a like coin no luck will keep looking, I do not think this has been sanded or tampered, because to can still see the house somewhat in the background. to me it looks like a bomb went off from the inside. Loss my files hope this is not a repeat. OK, you can attack me now, with PDM and man made , sanded down or up. What say you? PMD, error, a gold mine?
Listen Slick. Question for you.?? If it isn't in error, then it's PMD of some sorts. So, what error do you presume it is? Just look at the staining. Don't know what exactly caused it but it's 100% PMD.
The question should be. Could this have happened at the mint? And that answer is no. What ever happened to it, only the person who did it knows. Damaged spend it.
Damaged. One side is heavily damaged, probably as it rotated against a moving drum. The other side was relatively protected.
