OK folks, what is the cause here?

I thought initially a Dryer Coin - the thin rims and the edge is all damages as well
Could be heat or more likely intense fire damage.
Maybe a dug coin?

Did you have that one in your pocket the day you were doing plumbing?

Weight it - acid coin would be lighter and a heat or Dryer Coin would not lose mass so it would be the same.

Thin rims leans me towards a corrosive as the cause.

With the thin rims and pourous, pitted surfaces I'm on the "coorosive environment" train.
The darkness seems like that could be from being dug.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
