Looking for some ideas on this coin. These pics are reposted with permission.
It is a 1970s type coin with unusual surface features, even devices on the reverse that I believe are similar to a partially rotated gunning error.
Any ideas?

Does it matter? The coin is damaged. I would toss it into my copper piles.

How's the rim? Dryer Coin?

Doubling on the reverse looks like it could be a few well placed hits.
