    Heavy oxidation would be my guess. Not to out rule wrong planchet, but rust would be my guess.

    Looks like the ones I dig out of the ground..... I would agree with environmental damage.

    Yes, it is copper-nickel. 75% copper / 25% nickel.

    The coin looks discolored. It may be a dug coin or, at a minimum, the coin may have lain on the ground for a while.

    I have seen one or two colored like that. My thought was that it was laying outside for a period of time, then found....just my guess.
