This is what's known as a dryer coin. Look for photos. Either in the search box here, or Google. They will match. If the coin is much smaller and...
The rim is still intact so I don’t see it flat around the edges, hence, not a dryer coin. The entire coin does have the look of being dissolved,...
Keep it up. The more you look at, and the more you read the better you will get. None of our members woke up being an expert on anything. It comes...
Looks like it was in some form of acidic environment. Some might also say it's a dryer coin.

Sorry Kristine, this looks like a dryer coin. It could have been produced in any home or laundromat from Bangor, Maine to San Diego,...
It's a Dryer Coin. Damaged after it left the US Mint. Keep in mind.. If a coin looks strange, weird or different it does not automatically make...
I agree
Looks like another dryer coin. IMO
It's clearly an altered/damaged Dime. It occurred after it left the Mint. Not a Mint Error of any kind. Dryer coin is correct. Here is some...
A dryer coin such as this is of course a coin that remained in the clothing ( such as my Levi's pants) and falls out of the pocket and gets caught...
That is indeed a dryer coin, so it's post-mint damage, as mentioned.
