Hi Mirza,

Unfortunately this is nothing special either.  I've seen this before.  What has happened is that this coin got exposed to something like dirty water that caused the surface to start to corrode -- a very thin outer layer of the surface of the coin has discolored -- all over the coin.  I would bet that if you (at your own risk) scraped the coin, you would find the shiny silvery-looking metal underneath.

As such it has no collector value.

Expertise

My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.

Experience

I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
