Damaged coin, looks like it may have been subjected to heat. The dies that strike coins are flat, so a coin can not leave the dies dome shaped.
Worth a dollar, but nice to see one in circulation once in a while!
Definitely post pictures. There is no chance it is an original, they are all accounted for. It could be one of the early restrikes made from an...

Lightly tapping a coin repeatedly around the edge will make it look like this. It is just damaged.
Yes, glue or something similar.
Nothing at all wrong with asking questions, if someone doesn't want to answer they don't have to. The coin was probably damaged long enough ago...
