Two possibilities off the top of my head. Struck through grease, or struck through a late stage capped die. Is the detail gone on both sides or just one? A grease strike through can affect one or both sides, a capped die strike just one. A picture would be helpful.

I would also be interested in seeing a photo. Sounds interesting.

Does it look kind of flat all over? I'd think it's been in the washing machine. I've had cents come out with the zinc showing through the copper before.
