lamination on a clad coin?
I'm thinking strike through grease or just corrosion.

Looks like corrosion from acid or an acidic environment. PMD. Errers and Varietys.

I forgot to mention that the "craters" are only on the one side. The coin has been in a box in a closet for years until a relative just passed away and I got it.

I'm thinking strike through grease or just corrosion. Yes a lamination on a clad coin is possible, while it is a rare occurrence. Link to an article by COOP. Skip down to paragaraph #6. http://goccf.com/t/421983 |

Wonderful information from all of you! I didn't even know about lamination on issues on coins until now! Thank you all very much! I truly appreciate all the knowledge sharing and insight I'm gaining from here!

Not thinking lamination. Has the apperance of strike through issues, possibly gritty grease.
An accurate weight would be fun to consider.

Thanks for Coop's thread Tacc, but as he said in that graphic it is rare, so I do not usually even think of lams on clad coins. Clamshells, yes just not lams.

Yeah I was kinda reaching there I know, but why not present the far outside possibilities sometimes?
They do fall into line from time to time.

The way the surface is pitted around those depressions it could have very well been exposed to some kind of acid.

I could be a smart aleck and say there are a couple of craters (on the moon) that actually belong on the reverse.

Additional background on the coin- it was in a box with other coins that represented my mom and aunts birth years. This was the only one that had those marks.
I truly appreciate all the perspectives and information that everyone is providing!
