Kennedy half I described earlier. BETTER pic!

Hi all.
I've inquired lately about these Kennedy halves that have unusual color and textured skin.
I know the pic stinks, doesnt' really show the color or the "skin." It's the best I could get at 10x through an Intel Qx3 Microscope. Can you discern anything from the pic about this coin? Anything? thanks,
Blue skies!

Looks like it was struck from a severely worn die.

Thanks Russ. I swear it looks like a coating of some sorts on the coin though. Would you recommend an acetone bath to see if it's removable?

Also, does toning in the early stages mimick what i've described?
