What you're seeing is environmental cameo from environmental damage. Could have been a metal detector find. It's not an error.

Discolouration is not an error as it happens after the coin
left the mint. Yours has just been environmentally damaged.
If you were to rub the high spots, it may start to come off.

this is toning.

Significant enough that it could be called environmental damage. Not an error.

I agree, environmental damage. But this is the kind that can acquire a nice circulation cameo after some time in your pocket. Not valuable, but could be fun.
