Tough to tell from the photos, but it looks like this one may have taken a bath in acid which removed surface metal. The surfaces are grainy and the details are not sharp.

I haven't got a clue as to what happened to it, I found it along with some other pocket change. I am only starting to collect coins and when it dropped into my change bowl, it sounded different than it normally would. Thats how I even found it by looking and tossing a few coins into the bowl and thats the one it happened to be.

From what I understand. Some people use it try to remove plating. I guess to pass it of as an error or something. Other than the weight another thing to look for is letters and numbers are usually really narrow
