It'll be very hard to say without seeing some photos. Things that can make a coin look like that include "machine doubling" (which happens when...
I think the same thing you do. I've seen a lot of coins with a surface that looks like that in-hand -- ugly gray and dusty. But if it looks like...
Someone punched it with something sharp. See how the dent on the reverse (back) is right under the bump on the obverse (front)? This is damage,...
