Where? I looked and I don't see anything

 

looks like someone dropped it in the toilet then flushed it out.

or one of an unlimited possibilities ...

 

It could be one of the dreaded urinal coins....

 

Its a secret greeting among the space aliens members. You can read it by using your quantum decoder set on Rho.

 

Maybe someone dipped it in apple vinegar, instead of white vinegar. Then let it dry up. Being pinkish with gunk over it makes me think that. I think I'm possibly 0-1% or so correct.

The possibilities are endless.

It's best to consult the people that have had the cent in hand since it was minted, gather information of what and how they handled the cent. Then through sleuthing you should be able to determine what exactly happened to it after gathering all that information.

Good luck

 

Looks suspiciously like dried up coke-cola to me.

 

OP could lick the coin to see what it tastes like, and report back. If he lives.

 

Sorry guys it was to early this morning .. posted wrong pics

 

Chemically treated.

Not an error - It did not
leave the Mint like that.

No problem just trying to figure out what was the matter with it
