It looks like something foreign is on the surface of the coin. Maybe an adhesive of some type? If that were removed, the coin looks normal to me. I am new, however, so I am eager to hear what others say.
Surface staining to be sure. It looks more like rust transferred from something steel, but could be glue residue. It isn't a mint error so the coin is worth just face value.
