Environmental damage?

Looks like a parking lot coin to me that had a couple rocks underneath it, got run over a couple times and was stuck in a puddle of muck for a while to start a corrosion process.

So as usual I'm going to throw a wrench in this thread and say this coin is an improperly annealed coin that is loosing/lost its clad layer. It also has PMD and the beginning of copper degradation from being in a uncontrolled environment. IMO Value 25c

Looks like there are some dings and nicks, but the mushy appearance combined with the blisters on a clad coin are classic signs of heat damage.
