  Someone messed with it. It is probably half of a "two-headed quarter". They often made them by hollowing out the back of a quarter and then inserting the head of another quarter so that the rim hid the seam.

  All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.

  Looks like someone chucked it into a lathe and turned the reverse off. Is the reverse rim raised where it steps down?

  Agree.

  What is that mess/pattern in the center area - could that be dried epoxy?
