    I would ask how an original, as-struck surface can be so badly pitted as the coin presented here. By comparison, the Ebay coin linked presents original Mint strike smoothness. The difference is rather stark, and indicative of the corrosive process which resulted in your coin.

    Have a look here:

    Pay particular attention to points #2 & 3.

    The price is ridiculous! $719.99
    No way that type of error is worth that much. On Ebay a seller can put whatever price they want. That seller is crazy to list it such as. He will never sell!

    I believe this is a genuine error. I have seen "bullseye" patterns of incomplete plating on other coins. In some, it seems to have been deposited in this manner. In others it appears to represent pre-strike/post-plating planchet damage. I can't tell from here which cause to assign to your specimen. But you got a bargain.

    Well, what can be said?

    Send it in to NGC if you're so sure about its authenticity then post the results.

    If Mr. Diamond didn't reply, I would have to say, that this was a PMD coin, because of the circulation. @Kevin wu can I post a few picks of the 2011D I found? When I find them?

    The only way for that coin to be as-struck is for it to have corroded considerably since the moment of strike. The surfaces are pitted; the rims eaten down. I'm guessing Mike factored that likelihood (and it is a likelihood, since it's zinc we're talking about here) in to his opinion.

    Agreed.

    Correct me if I am wrong. but, I don't believe that the mint, took very good care of the Zinc core. The final coat of copper (in layman's terms) fills the voids in the zinc blank. This I believe would also have reason to why the zinc core on the OP's coin looks corroded.

    Its a pleasure, to talk with you again

    Well, here's the Ebay coin linked earlier:

    The zinc is in much better condition, and I can easily see this one is as-struck.
