If the major irregularities started as a lamination the time it spent in the ground has removed all traces. To me this is a metal detector find . Only a rare date would bring a premium in this condition
The pock mark is where the lamination has peeled, not laying in the position it is in. It never peeled of, but moved. But not a premium coin in that condition. Sorry. If it were BU then it would be a collectable with the error.
Coop, I have done quite q bit of metal detecting and dug coppers from 1800 up , out of the ground . The area on the reverse at the E of ONE is not recessed, the area around it is actually raised with hard corrosion. The spot on the obverse above the date also is not a lamination. It is where the cleaning has gone past the hard surface patina to the ground leached copper beneath . The red corroded color is the clue to the ID of the obverse spot. Metal detector find .
