A few, close-in, large and sharp pics would be very helpful--one or two taken from a low angle. Perhaps we wait for the microscope.

@Kkoch.... My suggestion would be.... if you have coin dealers/shops in your area, bring it in & get a couple opinions. If it turns out your coin is just damaged, the money you save by not sending your coin to a TPG, you could buy something from one of their shops & it would be a win/win scenario.

When you say a bath, does that mean you put acetone on it, or did you let it soak a few hours?

I'm going g to say chemical exposure since the markings are on devices and field. Perhaps harsh cleaning.

yeah I have changed my tune on this, could be from a soft wire brass brushing in random directions.

After looking at a bunch of cents, I'm going to switch to the glue group or simply a rough rolled planchet.

I am back. Wish I could post more often but I am out of town working what seems to be non stop. Anyways, I did soak for a few hours in acetone and nothing changed.
I would bring coin to coin Shop but there are none were I am located. I need to get better pictures that actually show the detail I see. Thanks for the advice.
