Looks like it took a severe beating, was coated in glue or something, followed by an unsuccessful attempt to remove the glue.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

I see a badly beat up coin, PMD did not come from the mint like that.

I agree, it looks like glue or tape residue. Try a Q-tip soaked in acetone on that. The coin is pure nickel, you won't hurt it.

Looks like someone may have tried to seal the coin in a protective coating, realized it wasn't working out, and tried to clean all the clear stuff off before getting fed up and tossing it in the change basket.
