Looks like it has been soaked in acid to me.
We have seen several of these on here.

Agree with the acid assessment. Might be a fun example to keep in a 2x2.

How do we know this is acid dipped? Note the devices? Although they are weak, if this were a thinned planchet issue, then the other devices would be normal size, but the tapered area would show weak/missing devices:
1941-P-LWC-Weighs-2.105-Gms,-18.3-MM
1941-P-LWC-Weighs-2.105-Gms,-18.3-MM
1941-P-LWC-Weighs-2.105-Gms,-18.3-MM

So if this were a split off before the strike, we would be the devices full, but weak because of the missing layer that came off pre strike:
1941-P-LWC-Weighs-2.105-Gms,-18.3-MM
1941-P-LWC-Weighs-2.105-Gms,-18.3-MM


If it split off after the strike, then the surface would be different:
1941-P-LWC-Weighs-2.105-Gms,-18.3-MM
1941-P-LWC-Weighs-2.105-Gms,-18.3-MM
1941-P-LWC-Weighs-2.105-Gms,-18.3-MM
1941-P-LWC-Weighs-2.105-Gms,-18.3-MM
1941-P-LWC-Weighs-2.105-Gms,-18.3-MM

Because the devices are all present and the thickness was reduced, then it was a normal coin when struck, but was soaked in acid leaving the weakness and rough texture on the coin. Why would people do this:

1941-P-LWC-Weighs-2.105-Gms,-18.3-MM

So by using this information, we can figure out how jacrispies figured this out. But knowing the reason for the conclussion... Priceless.

CoopHome: How can you tell if a coin was PSD thinned/mint error thinned/struck through a thinned mint event? Knowing this would be a great aid.

Bits of different information, now tied into the fuller story of what/how/when something happened. More clues in the future will relate even more. I never say that it is compete yet. (Keeping an open mind)

Definitely acid. If it was standard weight, could have been an error though!
