Looks like it to me,But I am no expert. The peel or possible lam on the edge is pretty weird also. Any thoughts are appreciated!
Nice photos by the way. Thanks for that but as I mentioned before, you have the knack to find damaged coins.
I can go along with that, It just seemed odd to me that the obverse rim and the edge peel, followed by the reverse effect around the A is what had me question this coin.
