As was stated, it is not an error coin but a coin with damage. Being from the Civil War era the damage could have been done by a soldier, which over time would look old and blend in with the coins surface. To bad the coin could not talk, it may have an interesting story too tell.

This is not a error coin, it sounds like coin that has been used and abused over time. Without seeing the coin it maybe was once used in jewelery. This could explain some of the damage.
