Good morning,
This comes from the bottom of a hoard jug started twenty-five years ago.
I have little interest in mint errors beyond, recognizing them, describing them with accuracy, and getting shed of them.
I hope that your replies teach me the jargon to describe it.
1 mm thick (less than 1/32, caliper is not tight)
21.781 grams
Color in pic is accurate
I detect little wear, but bad eyes describe.
Thank you for your time at this.

Coin has been dipped in acid. Usually the rims are first to go plus the
lettering is starting to get thinner. Another sign of being attacked with acid.
Thank you all.
Coin has been LSD'd (acid) as one might of said in the 60,'s.💊
Agree with the acid treated thing. I remember seeing quite a few of these in wheat cents. Kids back in the 50's would acid treat penny's in science class down to the size of a dime, then use them in candy a pop machines.
