Hope the pics portray the colors and background Images!(double denom?) The date seems to have some hanger-on-ers..(doubling?) What looks like scratches seem to be purposeful from a side view but couldn't capture a pic. The wt. is correct for this coin. Ideas?

I'm not seeing anything unusual. A double denomination coin looks like this:

I'm not sure what you're seeing. It may not be clear in the pics but to me it looks like it has environmental damage -- like it had something acidic on it.

. I see a coin that has been exposed to a corrosive substance.

This reminds me of a rusted die that made those indentations. The zinc surface looks like it should, so I don't think it was dipped in acid.
