I appreciate all the wonderful replies! Now I am excited to see it. I'll do my best to post some better pictures when II have it in hand. Might even try to make one of those white glove video shorts to show the luster if it has it.

In your video, you take the coin and turn it and it seems to have medallic orientation. It should have coin orientation. Unless this is a very severe rotated die, this is not as it should be and makes the coin a little suspect.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Possibly ex-jewelry? I see some serious notches in the rim and edge. Edit: @ns, there are some ~180 degree rotated dies on Heritage, like this one https://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/186...ption-071515 but good point.
