Looks like glue residue.
A soak in acetone will probably take it right off.

The rim looks odd. I wonder if the coin spent time in a dryer or the edge was possibly spooned  |

It is like a lamination peel,it is like a flake of metal,i don't think dryer heat can do that I have found coins in a dryer before.

Lamination is what I originally thought as well, except I have never seen it in that pattern (ie going in a circle around the rim) all of what I have seen has been in a straight line so to say and sometimes going from one rim to the other across the field of the coin. Will be interesting to see what comes of this. I guessing it is PMD though. |

Doesn't look like lamination. The rim does look a bit rounded like a Dryer Coin. But I would try to peel up a tiny spot and see if it's attached. I'm thinking a huge folded over Rim Fin? |

Note the rims have been moved inward wrapping the metal over the devices. It is from bouncing in commercial clothes dryer for a time. It is not a lamination because the extra metal is rolled over the devices. PSD |

I peeled it back it is attached to the rim and the part of the letter it was covering looks distorted or like wrinkled,took some serious heat.

Coop is correct that this is post-strike damage. Metal has been relocated from the edge and rim and onto the design in the form of a thin apron. Subsequent wear has caused that apron to mold itself to the underlying design elements.

took some serious heat Heat is not involved, it is purely a mechanical action from the repeated rolling and beating against the steel dryer drum. |
