Looks altered. Might have had some acid on it for a very short time. Or a weak acid for a long time.

 it resembles acid damage. Some of the best Lams were on the older cents.  |

My first thought was sandblasted second thought was acid. And yes it could have been a lamanation. Any year a coin was minted in copper could be a lamanation. John1  |

I would expect on a sand blasted coin that the damage would be incuse. On this coin it is raised. If the dies were rusty, the coin would also have incuse marks on it. If it were squashed with sand paper, the marks would be incuse on it. So the only think I could think of was acid eating the surface leaving raised areas on the coins surface.

It is definitely raised...acid would make sense. But yeah...weird looking for sure!

I agree on the acid explanation. I can't tell from the photo, but if it has an orangy tint, it might possibly be a Katrina coin. Some of the "coin recovery" companies acid-washed the Katrina coins to get rid of the toxic goop.

I will check it in daylight tomorrow. I have never heard of a Katrina coin....very cool! (Not the hurricane, the coinage of it.).

Good pics. On this one I'm a acid fan, so to speak.

Thanks CF. Coop, I haven't forgotten a single one. You did an extraordinary job on many of them for me. I did forget to give you credit on this one for the format, consider it done now. I'll be using them more often now, now that I have a computer that works. I appreciate you my friend.

CM: What computer program are you running on your system? If it is an older one, I have software for the old style machines.

I appreciate it Coop. I've got a brand new Acer with Windows 10. I've been using the "paint" feature to make my E-files. I'm starting to think I'm not going to be able to do side by sides though. Edit: I use a Nikon Coolpix camera and their low end NX-2 to crop and edit. I have fun with the paint though. I made this one today:  Edited by CoinMasters

That is what I'm using now. Still haven't figured out the layers thing yet. (I miss Photoshop) But I got my old computer back, but I plan on getting another desk to set it up on to edit images with. Just need a new Monitor and a desk. I had my son in law clean it, and it says it is now loading, but he didn't set it up to try it yet. Been trying to get used to the windows 7 Pro.

Yeah, I have no idea about the layers or a lot things on the computer. If I was a millenial, I'd have probably been born with a chip in my head. Heck, I'm not even a Bicentenial, more like a centurian. I have figured out one thing though, if you click on it and the screen doesn't go dark, you can usually figure it out.
You always did very well with that Photoshop. Are you able to do side by sides in Paint?
