Sorry, but that is all it is. A bit of environmental damage.

Almost had something there. However it does appear to be mostly a well worn coin. |

@ Tootallious. We have all been out there that's how we learn.
Don't worry if the limb breaks we catch you after the first bounce.

You don't even want to know where that coin has been! Now that I think about it, your one dollar bills either. |

As others have noted, the cent planchet is much smaller and lighter than the nickel planchet. When a coin is coined on the wrong planchet, most of the time there are obvious clues (but not always). In this case, nickel details on the outer devices would be affected. Have a look at this specimen and you'll see what I mean -  If the coins are closer in size/weight, the more likely the devices will look more or less, correct (e.g. dime/cent). As folks here have suggested, your specimen has environmental damage (exposed to something or buried for a period). It's spendable. |
