Looks like it was recovered in Death Valley 😬
I have no idea but it looks to have been exposed to some extreme elements possibly.

Probably heat damage.
I don't know either but I like it!

I don't think it's all that cracked up to be
Weird condition.... Have not seen that effect before. Cheers, RickO
Is it silver or some other metal?
Could it be from a shattered coin mold used for making counterfeits?

Someone here knows. It's only a matter of time before they chime in.

I surely don't know, but my best guess is that it was struck on a defective planchet.
If a mold or die was shatterered the lines would be raised on the coin.
The lines would need to be raised.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
imo, i think most of all the lines are just staining despite looking like they are etched.
i'd say 98% if it were dipped, they'd go away.
i know we've seen this effect posted on coins a few times (that i've seen) here. fwiw
i would go to 100% but the image pixelates too much upon zooming.
whatever it is and caused it, it isn't a desirable mint error/variation. although probably has been in the ground and/or some undesirable compound.
if you all want to see something EXTREMELY rare and VERY aesthetically interesting, look up that "good for one scent" cwt that was posted again recently (as a ground find i believe) that looks like all the moisture and color has been sucked right out of it and is crumbling. what a doozy!!!!
How bout it was intentionally done? Pmd by stylus. Peace Roy
