ok thanks ,
I have another $1 coin here that has a grove or slot running all the way around the outside edge of the rim but I think some one has been into it with a fine cutting wheel and a dremmel maybe trying to make a to header or some thing .
chuck it back in the till I think.

No! Please don't do that until you've posted some pictures here, You never know it might be a partial tilted collar, and worth up to maybe... $50

Looks like it's going to split in half eventually,might be a natural thing,coins do split like that when there is an impurity in the planchet.
