Depending on weight. it is is under weight, then it was acid dipped. If the weight is normal, then it was heated with a torch. Or it could be both.  I think the public is getting tired of normal looking coins. I think this is their motto:  And then the coins show up here.

To me it has more of a unrealistic bronze look.
Coin weighs 3.1

Because of the weight not being reduced, it was heated with a torch. It's been damaged with fire. It's a spender unfortunately.

@CoinHunter27 Acid-dipped has been disqualified because OP said the weight is 3.1. Pay a bit more attention or ask questions.

Quote: Acid-dipped has been disqualified because OP said the weight is 3.1 Proper weight does not disqualify an acid soak. It just means it hasn't been soaked long enough to appreciably reduce the weight. Another possibility is rock tumbler. Quote: Have you ever torched a zincoln?,they kinda disappear But the weight tells you it is not a zincoln.
