Quick glance of the obverse suggests acid, reverse shows classic heat damage. An interesting coin nonetheless. Report this Post to the Staff

Was thinking acid all along, but seeing the rather strong linear wavy effect on the reverse, it looked like some blowtorch examples I've seen. Someone had fun. Anyway, thanks for the input!
