@tex, first welcome to CCF. Second, that is mechanical damage. The coin was struck with a reeded edge, but they have been worn off.

That half is certainly damaged. Who knows how, chewed up in a dryer?

 to CCF. Possible start of either a ring (spooned) or a Dryer Coin.

Due to the "hammered" look on the edge and the correct weight, I'm thinking Dearborn is right...Spooned.... start of a ring.

@Marve65, That was supposed be, "possibly an acid dipped coin". Sorry, sometimes the fingers and brain just don't coordinate the way they should.

I agree. Spooned or Dryer Coin. The reeding has been removed by damage somehow.
