The poster who said "dipped and stripped" summed it up nicely. Looks like a previously corroded coin that has had an amateur "conservation" job. Ugly as a toad imo.
I bet its just a normal coin subdued to whatever and you all are flying way off the handle quick glance it looks sandblasted, tumbled, to me ,dull and hardly any contact marks except for the roached rims ,test it for silver and call it a day
Probably genuine. Possibly toned black and left in a jar of dip over the weekend.

I am sorry for not getting back sooner. The coin weighs properly. The dealers who said it was genuine suggested the S was to good to be fake. The coin in this grade to me should be a blazer. The pitting on the obverse does not set well with me. The coin is silver as I had the coin put under the scanner machine. The coin has the look of cast but the sound of silver. he skirt lines are in my opinion almost to good. I have not sold this coin and I consider it a fake. Thanks to all who responded. The dealers I spoke with were not trying to sell it and they are respect6able and very knowledgeable dealers who I trust and respect. Sometimes it is hard to put into a short forum discussion all the detailed discussion between two people over a coin that they looked at together. I should have explained their position of the coin better.

RACC I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
