Do you guys think this is a bad planchet. I like it but useless to put in slab. Very weak strike on reverse. I can't think of post mint damage that would cause this, but I have no idea.
At first glance, it appears to be a woody--improperly mixed alloy used in the planchet. Lighting used for both photos doesn't seem to be consistent, making it a bit more difficult to evaluate what may be happening. Also, appears there may have been a cleaning in the coin's past.
