That coin is very common for metal detecting finds. The date and reverse lettering are NOT struck funny, they are corroded away by the environment.

I will guess and say it was in some harsh environment, maybe the ground, where it corroded... 0.51grams lost and almost no diameter shrinkage?
generally when someone plays with acid you see it lose thickness and diameter.
I'm a bit surprised the rim is still noticeable with that much metal loss.
