  Looks like post-mint damage to me.

  Struck-through die cap errors, generally have wrinkled, but smooth surfaces. Your example appears to be rough/pitted. On your example, you can also see how the rims were folded over onto the fields under repeated hits or pressure. I am not aware of a step in the minting process that would cause this effect.

  In most cases, a struck-through die cap error will be mint state or nearly so, with much luster preserved. Obviously, yours is not. It would also be extremely unlikely to find such strike-throughs on both faces. I'm not saying that it couldn't happen, but it would be unlikely.

  Looks like that coin sat in acid for a while. I see no striking error.

  When gold and silver move together, it signals the coming end of fiat money.

  That coin has been in acid or acidic soil, it is PMD.... those pits remind me of ultrasonic cleaning results when a piece is left in too long... Cheers, RickO

  Was on a car battery to prevent cable corrosion. Maybe.
