    Is this a mint error?

    Welcome to the forum, hard to say for sure what happened to this coin, but it for sure didn't leave the mint in that condition.   Aside from the chunks missing is spots it may have been subjected to a mild acid like muriatic pool acid or some other chemical.    Damage can happen a million different ways; errors only happen at the time the coin is struck.

    Thank you for the welcome.  Also, I appreciate the added point of view of the origin.  The melted look does seem like acid could do that.  It threw me for a loop based on the mint mark itself not melting.  Thanks again for tye input.
