Yes not exactly rust, but rather environmental/chemical exposure that caused surface staining.

Post-strike damage. Might be interesting to get an accurate weight on the coin.

it looks 'cooked' to alter the color. (and nickels are not clad, so....)

Mitchard64,  . As mentioned, nickels are not clad. It looks like Enviromental damage to me, like a once buried coin. John1
