I'm guessing this is just a rather strong die clash? The coin was part of a set of 5 kopeks I recently picked up; at first I figured it was a bad strike or possible counterfeit, but then looked more closely and noticed the incuse double eagle head. And then discovered the rabbit hole of 1700s Russian copper varieties... these guys are cool. :-) For my education, what would you grade it as? F with corrosion? Thanks.
