Looks like it's missing a piece in the middle though, like a lamination. Does the reverse have that grainy/acid look too?

Acid on a Specimen Penny? The parallel lines, look kind of like those on specimen coin,maybe the acid attacks the lower points quicker?

If it was a valuable coin I'd say it was cast.
