It's cool to find coins but I enjoy the other finds just as much.
Let your dad decide on the right coin. I'm sure he will pick something nice.
Would this be caused by die polishing?
I was at a show last weekend. A dealer was selling coins like these for $5 each.

I like it. Still a nice coin.

I have had better luck using acetone on silver coins. I have very little luck with red copper coins. You never know if acetone is going to work...
There have been a few reports of something like this in the past but it's not very common. There is really not a way to know who was at fault.

Every image shows a damaged coin. Why show images of two different coins in the same thread? Both are damaged and have no value.
This is the coin on the left. It is bent/damaged. The coin on the right is damaged as well. Neither coin left the mint looking like this.
The images don't show any detail.
It will never be of value to the hobby. It will not be trusted.
Worn die.
