Pitted just like that. The funny thing is, this looks like it has a checkerboard "cartwheel". The reverse looks like an acid coin and the obverse is corroded.

Looks like it spent a long time on a oceanside beach.... the cartwheel effect is from sand polishing...

I've never seen something like this before, interesting how sand can create this kind of effect. Looks like a checkerboard when you look at it one way or the other.

I wonder if my mom threw out my hermit crabs' sand. I might try putting some sand in water, then put the coin in the sand and shake it and see what happens.

Cheap rock tumblers and silica sand work well...
