I find coins like that metal detecting all the time. When the copper coin is buried in the soil for a period of time, the copper oxidizes to that...
What I see are normal bag marks and a circulation strike. Try hunting for perfect coins and you will find almost none, especially from pocket...
my mistake, the fold in the drapery on liberties right leg looked like a curved dent from a coin hitting it and not part of the design. (you can...
