Has a swirl like finish. Not grinded because the rim is in tact. Do not know the year because the obverse is gone. Looks like something was stamped on to it when minted. Any input is appreciated.

Someone must have sanded off the obverse.

The pinwheel-like pattern of radial scratches is one I've seen many times before on vandalized coins.

If it was sanded its a great job because the rim is clean.

A dremel tool + a little time can produce, well the options or results can be endless works puzzlement. Thanks, Doug.

PS PMD, the mint does not spin or grind planchets that I'm aware.

I agree with PMD ... there is no modern minting process that could create this coin in this condition.

Thanks for sharing carloscoria ... we are here to support questions and offer honest advise.
