Its possible but unlikely. Acid removed metal . It doesn't creating the die to repeated multiple times. Look at the wheat leaves. They move up and over the rim.
Still weights 3 grams and it is the correct size.
Its been in a box for 8 years so it would have
Corroded like your cables on battery. It still has some ms finnish also.
Thank you for feedback

I agree with Coinfrog, next time way fewer photos, please, and they need to have the correct orientation so we can see them without cranking our necks, and please, much sharper images. I'm interested to see what coop has to say about this coin.  meanwhile,  to the CCF! Glad to have you aboard!  |

Hard to tell from the images but there is some damage to the top of TRUST, probably from a Coin Wrapping Machine. It looks like the tops of the letters were scraped off. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Not sure about the acid diagnosis. Error-Ref.com lists the criteria for diagnosing acid exposure as: The diagnostics of an acid damaged coin include:
1. A diameter smaller than normal.
2. Perfect centering of the design.
3. Uniformly mushy design on both faces.
4. Thin or absent design rim.
5. Lack of metal flow in design elements bordering the coin's edge.
The surface may or may not show an unusual texture.Agree that there is PMD to the obverse from WE through TRUST. The photos are just not clear enough, especially of the reverse, to reach any conclusions. I would really like to see better photos of EPU and the area around ONE CENT. |

An acid damaged coin will weigh less. A heat damaged coin will be near normal weight. Whatever the cause it is PMD and not an error. John1 |

This coin was mechanically altered outside the Mint. This common alteration is referred to as a "rippled coin". The effect is said to be generated by a rotating wire brush. But whatever the cause, this coin didn't emerge from the press looking like this.
