    ^ What he said

    Your coin was dipped in acid most likely.

    Really? Science experiment? My only thought that it might have been mint damage is on the reverse the word AMERICA does it look like the word gets bigger towards the end? More or less pressure on either the front part of the word or the rear party that made the metal flow more or less and why to me it looks the way I describe it?
