It looks like a wagon train bound for Oregon ran over it!
i wonder if it was in water of some type or muddy area
Looks like it spent time in some kind of acid.

It has an even texture at least

Whatever it was... and it could be acidic soil....it attacked the coin uniformly, and heavily. Cheers, RickO

As long as you are not buried in it.

Might be buried with it, but not buried in it.

It makes my eyes hurt!
I suspect that the piece was in ground that had been treated with anhydrous ammonia, a fertilizer.
“I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong.”
“Then you trust more to your imagination than to your knowledge?”
“I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

Salt water can do that to a coin. I've found silver coins on beaches after storms that look similar.
