Any idea how? I’ve seen stuff on toning etc.. but haven’t seen anything that looks like that?
There's no telling. But be assured, it's nothing but a stained nickle.

Nickels are made from an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Copper is a reactive metal and will easily discolored when exposed to certain environmental conditions.
Could have been found buried in the ground while metal detecting or even was in the bottom of a cars cup holder and had pop or coffee spilled on it. Environmental toning/damage happens in a variety of ways.

That is environmental damage... stained due to contact with an unknown, but 'unfriendly' substance. Could be a coin dug from the dirt. Cheers, RickO
