Agree. Some type of environmental damage or residue. The discolored part was probably exposed to something while the remainder was covered/protected. This discoloration couldn't occur during the minting process, so it can't be an error.
My first glance at the picture I thought: What is that, old gold that was struck with a flat die on one side?
Sadly, not nearly so interesting...

Just post mint damage, paint or glue or some type of crud.
Agree. The discoloration is round so I'm thinking it might be some kind of sticker that disintegrated over time and left that dark residue.
