It could also be nothing and just happened over time, but that odd imprint to the left makes me think it was stamped by something. It almost looks like ridges, maybe? Of course just guessing. Any thoughts or ideas would be great. I keep trying to google several different phrases on what it could be and I am not coming across a coin that has a stamped imprint like that.
