Need Some Assistance w This 1980-D Half Dollar w Edge Issues.

[CCTLR]

I recently found this 1980-D half dollar while coin roll hunting and noticed the edges were "not right". Can anyone tell me if this is a mint error, and if so, what type? Thank, Rudy

I may be wrong, but I see nothing more than the copper core showing between the rims.

post mint damage. The coin has been exposed to a chemical that has eaten away at the copper core a little more than the rest of the coin.
From experience coinshooting in horse pins, horse urine will do this to a coin and even worse.

We see this all the time at salt water beaches and other areas with acidic soils. The outer copper-nickel alloy holds up better than the pure copper in the center of the coin.
