    Stripped of it's copper plating. You can see a few places on the obverse where it wasn't completely stripped away.

    It's not rust. It's remnants of the copper plating. But hey, what do I know?

    Looks like the copper plating has a tarnish from environment on top of it. plain zinc would have been eaten up more than that. I dunno
