Improper Alloy (Duh!) Mix on Presidential Dollar

I ran across this today and found it rather interesting.
.. 
At first I thought the coin has been scraped up against something silver in color like aluminum.
But then I realized that the discoloration occurs inside the edge lettering which tells me that this is possibly a poor alloy mix or the coin was scraped prior to the edge lettering process.

I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

Are you saying someone was allowed to mix it improperly???

The scans here are better than those you sent me, for some reason,
and I can now see what you mean by 'inside the lettering'.
Although there is a very small amount of zinc and nickel as part of
the manganese compositon, I'm not sure it's from an improper
metal mixture of the outer manganese core only.
Not sure what it is from what I can see, but I agree with you now
that it probably isn't from contact with another metal on the edge,
from a wrapping/rolling machine.
It's another Presidential anomaly........

And just for good measure.............
