Is this calling on foreign planchet

 

looks like environmental damage, then cleaned. just my opinion.

 

But the date is now affected

 

don't belive its a foreign planchet, its damaged.

 

If you have a scale, weigh it and also put it on a regular cent and if it is lighter and less in diameter, it is acid etched, either on purpose or in environment. Does not have evidence of a foreign planchet to me.

How is it affected?

Welcome to Coin Talk. IMO it's badly damaged. What would make you think it's struck on a foreign planchet?

 

It looks like it's been in acid to me.

 

No, it's been damaged. Welcome to CT.

 

Nope its on a American made planchet. Just damaged. Ways shkw both sides of any coin you have questions about.

 

I agree with those comments already made - damaged by environmental exposure - acidic conditions or some other. When you want to check for the possibility of struck on a foreign planchet, weighing the coin is a first step, as has been suggested. Here is a resource to check what foreign coins were struck by the US Mint near the time your coin was struck.
