Not by me. I found it like that, inside the envelope below about a half hour ago.  |

Heavily cleaned, sanded/heavily worn down, and scratched. It's a details coin. PMD. Errers and Varietys.

@jdsstrat: I agree with the above, harshly cleaned and obverse sanded. Not a happy cent.  |

Thanks to all for the feedback. A "sanded" coin... who knew?

My guess would be that someone was making a love token out of it.
Although the graffiti on the reverse might suggest vandalism due to boredom.

Ouch. I believe it's a bit too late to help this coin.  |
