Thank you, rooneydog! I took a second look with my loupe and still can't see even the slightest hint of lettering, but I do see some file marks
Most of the wear on the coin looks honest, so I don't think the majority of it has been doctored, but someone certainly had a grudge against whatever remained of those letters. (or, perhaps, it was an attempt to pass it off as another coin?)
I'll go label it now.
