I'm with Marve about this area in the images being incuse.
The light seems to be coming from about k2 (in relation to the image).
When I enlarge the original image, there also seems to be weakness to the rim in the same area.
IMHO, this means these incuse areas were on the surface before the strike.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Ok I take 10 minutes in the 100% acetone and the results is not what I expected so I dont know how much time I'm supposed to let the coin in the solution but the surface its a Little bit brighter but the problem stay global its not stain for sure its kind of hit in the bottom of one cent and we saw the same hit on the obverse did you think it was made during the mint process or its a damage after the penny has to be struck so I really dont know ?
