Looks like zinc rot. You need to properly crop your pics before posting them. We only need to see the coin.

Agree--post-strike damage in the form of zinc rot (caused by exposure of the zinc core to environmental agents).

Nice job on the follow-up image. Thank you.

That is definitely caused by the underlying zinc oxidizing (from a pinhole break in the copper) and expanding upward, forming the circle.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
