How common is this kind of error with clad coins?
Give the laziest man the toughest job and he will find the easiest way to get it done.

I am not a subject matter expert in Ikes or errors so rather than speculate on post mint damage etc...I will just sit and wait for someone with a clue to pop in
Most likely just somekind of discoloration or toning or rust.
It was 'colored' after it was in circulation.
If you think its something that happened to the coin after it left the mint I can except that but its not paint or rust it could be toning.
Its no big deal it cought my eye and it never hurts to ask..

It would catch my eye as well along with a couple of extra heartbeats.
But, Fred has obviously seen this before and I gotta go with his expertise.
I cannot help but wonder what it might be though.
The name is LEE!

That was the first thing I tried RickO.
Then I tried denatured alcohol .Zip nodda no effect.
You are right, it does not hurt to ask!
Now that surprises me.... interesting. I cannot tell anything else from the photograph.... do you have access to a scanning electron microscope? (Work, college, laboratory etc) If so, they can do a scan and tell you precisely what it is. I would do it, my curiosity would demand it.
