It doesn't quite look real, as the entire coin has a porous texture which makes me doubt its authenticity, although I don't know why anyone would counterfeit a coin worth little more than a dollar. The blob looks like solder.

Not a Dryer Coin. On a Dryer Coin both sides would be affected the same. On this one, there is a large lump on the reverse that looks like something was added. On a Dryer Coin the metal get rolled over on the edges. The edges on this one look normal except for the lump on the reverse. |

The edges look a little rolled to me and all the devices lack detail, like it had rolled around in a dryer.

The blob looks like a hunk of common solder. Could the other damage be the result of the coin being around a soldering iron?  |

Considering it affects the side opposite to the large blob on the reverse, I'll say that's solder.
Heat it up, see if it starts to bubble up.

Looks like solder. That is a large lump and there is no weakness on the obverse in that location.

The marks on the left side of coin obverse and reverse looks like damage while holding coin to add the solder with pliers/vise.

An altered coin. It is a real coin, just not a real error.
