That looks like it was in a piece of jewelry. I think everything you are seeing is solder.

Obv. 1by date placement

 

It does look like added metal. Odd that it would be on the date, but it appears at the 6/12 o'clock positions on the Obverse/Reverse.

 

Thanks all. Appreciate the feed back.

 

Cool coin nonetheless. Why does the 8 look upside down lol? The one on the right, I mean.

 

@Strike Vader the second 8 appears to be a 3 that took a hit or is obliterated by some added metal. Have a new look; can you make out a 3 as Paddy suggests? I think I see it.

 

With arrows at the date and USA on the rev it can only be 1853, 54, or 55. The last digit clearly isn't a 4 or 5, so it's an 1853.
