I have never seen such a mutilated half dollar before with the reverse being so perfect. What happened here?

Somebody tried to solder to it.
You can melt the excess solder off with a heat gun or propane torch. Don't overheat it though or it will hump up.
Solder doesn't like to wet to the Ni cladding so it will come off fairly clean.
