Looks like someone may have started to make a coin ring by hammering the edges. I don't know why the obverse features are so "blobby" looking.

I speculate it was in a commercial dryer to long

yep,

Stuck in the fin of a commercial clothes dryer. They tumble , sometimes for months, often with other coins as well and they damage each other in this way.

Thanks,
