1828 o-114 busthalf dollar. Maybe even fire damage. Had this 40 years never seen one like it.

    Can you weigh it to two decimal points and supply a photo of the edge.
    I am leaning towards it being counterfeit and those are plating bubbles on both sides
    plus there is no detail on the reverse but need more info to say for sure.

    My first impression was also that it is a counterfeit due to the lack of reverse detail.
    Will wait for further info as @Greenstang has requested.

    Yet E PLURIBUS UNIM looks suspiciously strong and crisp.

    Not sure if being a counterfeit.
    Although the photo's just look to be a bit off.
    But that's just me.
