It appears to be just glue or something like that. That is why the area underneath isn't toned, the glue kept the air from the surface of the coin.

Maybe it is glue or some thing. Let me check it out and see if I can chip a piece off.

Soak the coin in 100% acetone to avoid physical damage.

Agree, looks like some sort of foreign substance.

I soaked it for 5 minutes in Acetone and the [glue] is all gone. Couple of picks of the cleaned coin. Kinda cool looking now. Thanks for your help!!   |

Acetone does its job. Sadly, not an error.

Thx for following up with those "after" pics. The glue has protected the copper from oxidizing.

Bummer I missed this topic from the beginning.
I love the way the glue 'preserved' the center of the coin while the outer area toned out so heavily.
