Your coin has been through some things, as evidenced by the scrapes to Liberty and Abe's face. Undoubtedly in its travels it was also subjected to some environmental factor that stripped the copper plating from it.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96209 Posts	Posted 01/15/2025 5:03 pm yep, I agree with PMD of some sort. if the plating was at fault at the mint, I highly doubt that it would be centered.
