Worn die or error damage?

Looks to me like it sat in the ground for a decade or two (Environmental Damage - ED

)... On the close ups I can see some of the toning in the deeper recesses and that indicates it has been cleaned... Also appears to be on the rims and edges???

yes. also on the edges as well.

Definitely damage, but my first thought would be someone dipped it in acid. Environmental damage is also a possibility but to have it that even on both sides leads me to believe it is acid and maybe not in the dirt.

Thank you guys. It was just so clean And pitted. I wasn’t sure what was going on with it. Thank you for your help.

I thought acid first also but with the toning showing in some of the recesses and the amount of pitting I was leaning toward the ED??? I can see toning around the 75, MM and at the rim of the date/MM pic!!!

A bad whiz job with a wire polishing tool. You can see all the little areas where the wire was digging into the surface. I've done this myself plenty of times experimenting with various attachments for my dremel.
