It may well be effects of acid, but it may also be an actual error. As E&V said, Struck Through Grease seems most likely. A lamination flaw would not create that nice of a circle. An accurate weight of it to 1/100th gram could help if you can get that measurement. It doesn't look like impact damage because of how it overlaps raised features. Having a good pic of the entire coin and both sides will certainly help: most importantly, what it looks like on the other side directly opposite the obverse anomaly.

Thank you everyone! The coin weighs 5.67g. I found some other marks on the coin that I think may be errors. I will provide more photos shortly.

5.67 grams is exactly normal. It must be a "struck-through" error or damaged mechanically. Acid would eat the metal and create a lower weight reading.

Looks like as mentioned grease struck through with grit leaving the field rough looking.

The hole that appears here just seems to be some damage to me.

BigThumb, the reverse shows a small stain and scratches, whuch is Post Strike Damage ( PSD). On the obverse, you have a legitimate error coin, that was Struck Through Grease with grit mixed with it. It's a keeper. Errers and Varietys.

Sweet thank you. Do you think it's worth anything?

All things considered, the value may cap out at about $2. It is a little unique in that the struck-through area is quite circular, so it has more eye appeal (to me). It's definitely a keeper and worth more than face. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

It does carry a small premium. Maybe worth 4 dollars at best, if someone is willing to pay that price for it. Nice find!
