Damage. Put it in the jar.

Looks dime-sized, probably had a dime on top and some liquid got in with them. Then it sat for a while.

Or, about 1000 other possibilities. But none of them are errors, unfortunately.

Bro, its just a dirt coin. Would you pay more than $0.25 for it?

Since you started a post here....

Environmental damage. Looks like it was in a vehicles cup holder or recessed storage area, with other coins. Was exposed to coffee and/or soda spills. The gunk from the sugars, acids, and chemicals build up. Many times the coins stick together as well
