Looks like it got splattered with solder. Can you pick one off? Solder usually doesn't bond all that well.

Also if it was solder the specs would be silver in color not the color of copper

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.
