got this somewhere out of change, the coin itself is very bright and looks like it just came out of the roll. The relief is excellent for the most part the rest of the coin is heavily polished in many areas
on the obverse from 7 oclock to 11 oclock, has excessive metal around the rim as indicated by the arrows, while posting this, I found an area on the bust that was polished indicated by the red line from end to end in the first obverse pic.
The 2nd & 3rd pic show the metal around the rim from 7 oclock to 11 oclock and the extent of polising there.
The 4h pic shows the reverse overall, pay attention to the area circled in red
The 5 pic shows the reverse Side letters in "UNUM" received heavy polishing, and the 6th pic shows the extent of the amount and extent of polishing done to the monticello design.
The 7th pic shows where the serifs in "Pluribus have ran together and is uniform acrross the thre letters and the last pic shows what appears to be a something was struck into the coin, it looks more like a die gouge of some kind, or something was struck into the coin, and this is where the red circle comes into play on the 4th pic that shows the reverse, something happened in this entire area.
this coin is way beyond me in what actually happened here and as old as it is, i'm not gonna venture any guesses.
