Looks a little too straight for it to be acid damage. But I'm not quite sure cuz I'm definitely not an expert. But normally when acid dissolve something it's sporadically. I would believe.

Please show photos of the complete obverse and reverse when posting.
It looks like acid has eaten away the copper core. Copper being
softer than nickel will dissolve first
There have been several like this show up on the top the forum.

Acid eats away on the copper, thus reducing the outer edge where the copper shows. The longer in the acid, the more of the copper is eaten away.
