I would ask to try some of what you're smoking, but it's probably illegal in my state. ;) And I agree, definitely not.
Somebody took a "1944" punch and a "1994" punch to the reverse, probably to celebrate the 50th anniversary of something. The coin should not...
Congrats on completing the set! It's always a proud moment to see something you've built reach completion.
62. Lot of pretty severe marks on that coin. I don't see any trace of wear, so I won't call it AU. As I recall, these came straight from mint...

I presume you are trying to psychologically influence the grader? I would hope the grader is better than that. I always list things in catalogue...
Fiber? Is that like cardboard? Or felt? Describe it to us. That is very unusual.
With that much wear, I'm more surprised that's all it has lost.
