    It most likely just the light reflection from a little bit of Indirect design transfer which can effect the luster of a coin.

    O OK it's on both side it just harder to get a pick of its like it's got two side by side luster twin swerls and it still has planchet lines like it wasn't full plated mabey there a spot that wasn't fully struck that's y the luster off?

    A man can't bend a coin and the bend it back like it was never bent try it it takes tons of pressure to get it all flat and not make stress cracks in the plating shape wise the coin is perfect its like a illusion

    It was probably Superman.

    I've done it myself. I've bent plenty of Cents.

    How long have you been into studying and attributing errors?

    Me.. 37 years

    Plating doesn't crack that easy.

    Now this not a modern coin, let alone a plated coin, but that really has little to do with it. What I'm going to show here is an example of what can be done with bent coins. Just how badly they can be bent, and how they can be straightened out, flattened out afterwards.

    Before -

    After -

    Granted, it's a much thinner coin, made of gold, but serves as an example of what can be done. Could you do it with a modern coin of today ? Well, you might do it with a silver dime, but anything else would probably be difficult, if not even possible.

    @Danual Welcome to CT.
    Your coin, while difficult to tell from the photos, appears to have been heated to take on that appearance.
    A more thorough examination is necessary. If you have calipers, take measurements of the surfaces to see if it is distorted. Take some edge photos of the coin laying on a level surface.
    BTW Thank you for posting the photos Full Image. These old eyes really appreciates it.
