Looks as if it was given an acid soak. It removed the outer layers of metal leaving it looking like it does.

Looks more like a Dryer Coin or a rock tumbler coin to me. John1

Why does the obverse look like a reverse image? Everything is reversed. Is that the way it really looks in hand? or just photo shop?

It's circulation damage, possibly a Dryer Coin like said before.

Your coin shows heavy Post Strike Damage ( PSD).
Errers and Varietys.

Post Strike Damage means that it was done after it left the U.S. Mint. It's a spender.
Errers and Varietys.

That's because this coin used to be a Slot machine coin at one time, has gone in & out of the machine thousands of times, surfaces become overly scratched and beat up. It is not due to Acid bath nor being a Dryer Coin.

Yes sorry, I did mean coin surface. Post strike..Think I just got excited I found out what was wrong. The old slot machines that might explain some of it but at least 1/2 of the coin is raised material. The obverse is correct I didn't notice that. I downloaded a magnifier app. So frustrated trying to get true pictures. I ordered a nice usb coin magnifier just haven't received it yet. Thanks every one !
