OldSkool, if you do more overlays with 1893 and 1903, I suspect you might realize this could be a fake. Just a hunch... and a comparison of this coin with some 40 dies from 1903 and 1893.

I don't recall off-hand ever seeing the very wavy features on the bottom of the letters in UNITED STATES, most easily seen on UNITED.

That is caused by extreme die flow that can occur when a coin is struck out of collar.

Fake error coin? Suppose it's possible. Toning does look unusual for a coin that saw little circulation.
