I'm wondering if this is how a missing clad error can look or if this coin has somehow been altered to have most of its clad surface removed?

Looking like acid to me too

The only certified missing clads I have ever seen were either completely missing the clad, or missing a solid chunk of it from a lamination issue. This is looking like acid ate away at the cladding unevenly.

Environmental tarnishing/staining/paint/plating damage, could be acid damage, all post mint. Maybe have spent time buried in acidic soil or the bottom of a coffee cup holder in a car, who knows. Post mint damage ( PMD), no premium.

Just surficial damage. It isn't corroded all the way to the copper core.

My opinion someone bronzed it then tried and failed to de-bronze it.
