Please get in the habit of including the denomination in your thread titles. I will ask a Moderator to do so on your behalf for this one.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19164 Posts	Posted 05/31/2025 07:27 am Yes, damage. Likely an acid exposure issue. If the rim was more pronounced, I'd be thinking Dryer Coin. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25282 Posts	Posted 05/31/2025 09:10 am I don't think that acid is the culprit, as that tends to shrink the letters and numbers, not flatten / fatten them. Maybe a rock tumbler? Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
