Things (including coins) go better with Coke...looks like a cupholder coin, bathed in soda and ketchup, heated to 135 degrees in a closed car, then pried apart!

Definitely damage, but it's anyone's guess as to the method. IMHO looks like a coin that was in a fire.

Clad copper-nickel dime . Big time environmental damage getting down to the copper . Send it to your congressman and say this is what our coins for commerce looks like today unlike our beautiful coins of the past . Time for a change !  |

It is the rare STKSS error (struck through ketchup, sand and soot).
Not really!

Sometimes when metal detecting, I dig up clad that comes up completely orange depending on soil conditions. This doesn't look like a dug coin, but it looks to have had a similar reaction.

You'll often find these coins with heavy Environmental Damage in circulation. This is Post Strike Damage unfortunately ( PSD). Errers and Varietys.

I agree with the metal detecting camp.
Coins recovered from lawns that have a lot of chemicals applied to
them, such as fertilizer and lime, can have similar damage.

What it appears like to me, and yes, showing my age here, when I was growing up bars and pool halls would paint their coins. Usually in heavy laquer. Not exactly sure why though, never asked. Just remember seeing a lot of dark green quarters, dimes and nickels.
