Can someone let me know if this is PMD or some type of peeling. This penny looks very spotty! The reverse show some type of lamination going north east through the one cent

It looks like it's been buried in the ground or had an acid bath. Can we get a full pic of both sides to tell more please.

@chavewz, I don't see the lamination--is it on the rev? If so, then please post a pic of that side of the coin. Thx.

It's Post Strike Damage on the obverse side. It shows Environmental Damage.

Do a science experiment. Place a copper cent (pre-1981) into an opened fresh can of Coca-cola, leave for 24-48 hours submerged in liquid. Remove and examine (if found)
