Looks cleaned after environmental damage. Like an acid bath. I doubt it is a struck through clothe.

Oh yeah, we need better pics of the devices to see if it is a dd. Looks like md from here.

I am going to agree with John1 on this one. Notice how the "acid damage" is obvious on the obverse and then doesn't appear to be on the reverse (it would help it the coin was photographed out of the holder). That's not something that would naturally occur at the mint.

Is the coin the same width and weight of a standard coin?, if so there's the possibility of a strike through of some kind.
Feel free to call me Will.

Looks like someone hit it with a blowtorch:  Or acid. The torture people put coins through. PSDEdited by coop

Looks like some of the coins I have seen that came out of the "Roto-blast" machines where I work. Imagine sandblasting with tiny steel balls.

There are a lot of ways to ruin a coin and few ways to keep them new. So keep them safe.

Rotoblasting or sandblasting would just move and texture the metal, not remove it. I highly doubt that your coin is a strike through. I will see if I can come up with a blasted sample for comparison.
