Smooth surface on my 1920 Reverse over a planchet issue? Any opinions on this? Thanks so much.

The reverse shows--possibly--an 'old' lamination issue. The entire coin looks to have been exposed to a corrosive environment at some point in the distant past. I'd give the coin a long soak in 100% acetone and hang onto it as a fun curiosity.

Is the coin encased? Looks like it. Agree that it has been exposed to a corrosive environment, such as a fountain, or smoothed by waves or running water. Also agree with the lamination comment.

Agree, acidic environment and possible lam.
