    It means that the zinc underneath the copper plating it rotten and corroded. It isnt an error it is just damage. Post mint damage. The coin is ruined.

    From 1982 until all current, Cents are Copper Plated Zinc planchets.
    As stated before, The elements react with the zinc underneath and the zinc rots away :yack:
