Loos more like the coin was damaged. It looks like it was also treated in acid as well. So I'm thinking it is a PSD issue.

@DE, Rockwell hardness testing as in the coin in this link from error-ref.com: http://goccf.com/t/345077.

The dimples on your coin don't have completely smooth sides though so I suspect that they occurred after this coin left the mint.

Probably dipped in acid by the looks of it.
