I bought this coin many years ago. I was curious if this is an error or something else. Sorry for the image quality, I used a bad compressor.

Thanks for any help. I'm new to error Coin World and still learning.

Looks like someone hit it with a centerpunch.

Would a center punch show on the other side. The reverse has no marks or flattening.

Whatever it is one thing is for certain, it is PMD.
You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

I agree with PMD and the color might be environmental damage/toning. I also added the mint mark to your title.

Different size holes makes me think of drill bits.

The damage is due to Impacts of a nature-this is obvious due to rising sides seen around some of them. The different sizes lead me to think this is a whimsey involving centering punches for drills
