1988-Broad-Strike-With-Extra-Eye

Tried a little acetone, and tried to clean out with a toothpick. I guess it's probably a water stain, but it looks too perfect. A hit? I don't think so.
Also what looks like a patch on the nose as well as something going on with the chin. That could just be a some small die cracks, looks like the beard is peeled away a bit. Also broad struck.
Sorry, unable to upload pic. The first one uploaded fine - without resizing. The others I tried to upload I was unable to resize them at all. A close-up of the eye looks like a water spot, Thanks

Thanks
One messed up coin.
Any ideas?
Thanks: Lou

Not a broad strike. maybe a MAD (need to see reverse to be sure) or just off center strike. The 'extra eye' could be a die chip/plating bubble. Need close up of that to be sure.

Looks like stains from sneeze droplets. Not a plus for the coin.
