    Looks ground down.

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

    Or chopped apart like a magician's trick coin. @Jaws19755 can you split the coin open with your fingers?

    Philately will get you nowhere....

    Looks like someone was going to start a magicians coin but gave up.

    On my screen it looks like a railroad rim/partial collar.

    Is the smooth part of the edge raised or depressed in comparison to the reeded part?

    PS - photos of the obverse and reverse might be helpful.

    I’m a mason, mine are worse, I keep them out of photos.
    You’re a good guy for putting up with my crappy comment.
    You’ve created a stir. I suggest that you read the threads that I recommended before you post anymore.
    DM me if you have a question.

    That is an error known as a "Partial Collar"
    It is caused when a planchet is injected into the collar but does not sit properly.
    The reeding gets struck on the bottom of the coin leaving the top untouched.
