Also, lets see the whole coin.

 

My first guess was a gas bubble due to poor manufacturing by Ying Xiao in China.

My guess is that it is a bubble due to heat applied to it.

The coin looks to be genuine, so I would vote "gas bubble."

[copper toning]

Potential lamination which did not separate?

 

[mtnstyne]

not trying to be insulting but did you do the magnet test and weigh it?

I agree here now seeing the full coin. 100% real.

Yes, all currency and coin ever minted by the United States is still legal tender.

Yep, even Trade Dollars, half cents and large cents. Trade Dollars lost their legal tender status because they were cropping up in circulation in the U.S. at time when the mint would convert your silver into those coins for little or no fee. The trouble there was lot less than a dollar’s worth of silver in them so private individuals were collecting the “seignorage” from them. That threatened to wreck the U.S. monetary system.

 

The half cents and large cents were coins of convenience at the time they were minted. They were intended to purchase small items in the every day economy, but not for satisfying large contracts. Therefore they did not have legal tender status.

 

The Coinage Act of 1965 monetized or re-monetized everything that the U.S. mint had issued on an official basis.

 

Now, if you choose, you can got to the store and spend your half cents, large cents and Trade Dollars on anything you like.

customs wanted me to pay 30 % extra tax on coins from US.
