The three on the bottom are also the color of copper so explain to me if it's solder why would the color be copper? Just asking okay they can't get picked off if you look at them they're actually bonded into the copper very possible did it happen when they were Electro plating it.

@ Thump1:
Zn "rot" could be a cause. Sure this coin was damage after the strike.
About the soldering. Do you know the the Cu is soldered with Cu solder alloy? Same for Ag, Au and etc. metals.

We are all collectors of coins, that is why we are here, their are different levels of collecting a beginner, to a pro. and everything in between. As a beginner and you find something odd or interesting, keep it, it is a start of a collection which is very cool but after you find a lot of the same kind of coin then you will likely spend them. I believe that those bumps is zinc gas escaping, creating a dome, you can see a hole in the middle where gas is released, the coin will soon turn into dust.
