no, that's what happened..either that or it is a Dryer Coin. in any event it is damaged as the only thing that's not a possibility is this being a real error coin.
That's what we call a "spooned" coin. Dryer Coin will show some wear on reverse and obverse surfaces as well. It has been struck repeatedly around the rim, thousands of times, with a hammer or other suitable object (even a spoon will do the trick).
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website
