Bicentennial Ike dollar

Better pictures

looks like staining from perhaps during the flan "rinsing" stage?

i think it unlikely it is a plating issue, improper metal mixture or defective flan.

Thanks for your help, I take terrible pictures. The encircled areas are raised up,would be a cud if they were on the edges.

my iniital thought was goop but even though it looks like that it is extremely unlikely being in mint packaging. (but not impossible)

does the coin slide around in the plastic or is it stuck?

since there is so much other dark spots on the coin, it is almost certainly the same event that caused it all.

i'm dubious it is raised fwiw
