The cent appears to have been sandblasted. It i possible that It spent time in a drain for a long time or was in the sand a the beach. It is PMD.

 

That's what I was kind of thinking, but the words aren't really corroded. It's kind of like a coat of frosting or something over the whole coin.

 

Environmental exposure can be uneven and can produce all sorts of unusual effects.

 

Thank you. Good to know finally what's goin on with it

I Metal Detect and have found several that look like yours at the beach. I call them sandblasted Cents. Could be either rough or smooth surface.
