that is what is known as post mint damage, that is the coin was damaged after the minting process and has no added value. Sorry! Welcome to the forum

It looks counter-stamped with 4 Xs. Some people collect counter-stamped coins.

Here's a link to a (partial) list of letter based counterstamps.

I have several I've saved just because they are different.
This coin might be "small letters in a rectangular stamp",
listed near the bottom after 'Z'.
