The coin is excessively worn. A die trial would at least look like a type 2 planchet (some sort of rim presence), and this one doesn't have that. A filled die would have full rims. Whether all of the wear you see is entirely natural or not, I couldn't tell you.

Definitely a worn coin.... now, whether a pocket piece, dryer coin or expeditiously worn in a cartridge cleaner with coarse medium, I cannot say... Either way, it is induced wear. Cheers, RickO

Thanks for education.
Not my coin- fits with this discussion.

Good example of some recent post commentary about certifying PO-01 if the date is completely illegible. Here, the visible mint mark + one-year reverse is enough to figure out the date and thus qualify for certification.
That's cool to see an Ike like that.

Not circulation wear .These must be pocket pieces ..Would take a few years, a slow process yes?
