Yes, an accurate weigh will help us know what is up with this coin. but for now, I'll say that is it environmental toning.

Sure looks like surface toning, but potentially plating. I don't think it is missing a clad layer, but agree that having a weight would go a long ways toward confirming this.

Weight a bit low, but I think typical for a recovery and clean from an in ground burial. A spender, but not in in a vending machine.
