Looks like it may have had some heat applied to it.

Not an error though as it didn't look like this when the coin was struck.

Maybe water related stain...chemical etching and electronic playing... I used to keep ones like that...

I believe it came in a roll of brand new looking Penny's

To me, it looks like it sat in a puddle of water with gasoline in it for a while.  I've seen many cents that have that kind of rainbow effect on them from the exposure to the water and gasoline.  That's my vote on the issue.

Never seen a copper clad coin do that so it has to be heat one side or chemical damage

I do not believe this is a natural occurance
