Welcome to the forum. Clear pictures of the whole coin would be more useful, but from what I see you have a "dryer coin". A coin that has been trapped in some type of machinery like a commercial dryer for a period of time causing the damage.
Just worn down.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
Exposure to acid and/or corrosion can produce effects like that.
Welcome to the forum
First, always provide complete photos of both sides of the coin along with a closeup.
This gives us a better perception of what we are looking at. Also do NOT use screen shots,
they are too pixilated. As far as your coin goes, it is just damaged and has no value. It
doesn’t really matter what caused it, damage is damage.
Appreciate the answers still learning.
That one has a hammered strike!
I believe this kind of effect can be readily recreated by putting a coin in a gemstone tumbler.
