First off, that is WAY cool dude, wish I had one like that. My instinct says it's PMD, but I suppose it could be some sort of messed up die, although I don't know how. Let's see what the other guys say who know about this stuff. |

Somebody obviously mechanically altered the coin - moved a little metal around with a tool - just for the fun of creating something interesting. It's almost certainly contemporary, back when it was just a common, spendable coin. It worked. We're interested in it.  |

It definitely worked. It's another hand-me-down...looks like he paid $4 for it some time in the 80's.
