to the CCF There is no way anyone can tell anything from that photo. Please post a CLEAR photo of both sides and then someone will be able to answer your question.

Without clear photos, I am just going to say it is a damaged coin.

Some one probably testing grinder, then left in the ground and then finally spent

Actually, for a $2 coin, my initial assumption on seeing or hearing about an "odd-looking" coin is, "It's probably a counterfeit", rather than "It's a mint error" or "It's a damaged coin".
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Try slightly varying the angle at which you take the photo to avoid glare on the coin. Also avoid using flash or artificial lighting but instead use natural lighting.

Nice close ups Woody79 but what is still needed are clear photos of the full coin, showing both sides, that highlight the detail of the coin's design ... like the ones that you posted in your other thread re the 1985 $1  ... but properly orientated. |

The easiest method is to scan the Coin,Scanner/Printers cost A$30+and are usually up to 600/1200 DPI these days.
Photo's are hard to get right when Coins are the subject,you need a pro. camera,pro lighting and plenty of experience/skill.
My Thoughts after years of trying to get acceptable Photo's of Stamps/Coins.
