There was no hole in the spot where the Mint Mark is located. You have a Copper Plated Zinc Cent where the plating has been compromised.. just Zinc Rot and the hole appeared afterwards. This is due to Environmental Damage.
Everything else is also damage to the Copper plating.

Here is some information - http://www.error-ref.com/?s=zinc+rot

look at the rest of this website to see all kinds of plating issues

 

thank you didn't realize the rot would come from underneath I will ck out that web site tks

 

It's damaged and that's all that matters.
