    Does this coin seem odd to anyone?

    As Idhar and Patty said, it's a steel penny plated with zinc. That's why it looks odd.

    And the zinc is breaking down.
    Zinc is quite sensitive to the environment and moisture really affects it.
    And "moisture" includes humidity.

    US 1943 cents need to be stored in something like an Airtite.

    Just a plating issue, probably exposed to something acidic. PMD
