Nothing at the mint would do this. Its PMD.

I am new but looks like it was after mint damage. Kind of reminds me of concrete damage like it was stock on a tire or some sort. There is a great website that shows examples of mint errors Error-Ref dot com. Once I spent hours reading through this, I started to understand what most mint errors will look like. Very interesting coin though. Thanks for posting the photos.

This has nothing to do with plating blisters....

What you are seeing is post mint damage........ it appears that this coin was exposed to a hard porous surface, such as concrete or asphalt, which in turn left the surface damage you are seeing
