    Railroad is a great descriptor for this.

    That is an interesting visual perspective.

    Agree.

    Nitric acid is one of them.

    Would be interesting to have a precise weight of this coin, to see how much mass it has lost since it was struck.

    When it left the dies it should've weighed 2.268 grams (0.080 ounces).

    Only worth 9 cents now.

    I suspect that the 'crud' may make up some of the lost mass.
    I will weigh it later today and let you know. :)

    @Staircoins
    I was wrong, it weighs 1.95 grams
    14 % loss.

    It’s a wedge hammer PMD. Probable from parking meter or slide laundry detergent dispenser

    Best place to buy !
