Sorry Rich, it's damaged
Damaged, and not a mint error coin of any kind or type. Simply, your coin did not leave the US Mint looking like that - someone altered the coin.
I agree it looks like a copper-coated Zinc Type 2 planchet. I think you can pick them up, in general, for $2 max at a shop or show that does have...

Two different coins, imo. There is no hint whatsoever of doubling in the 1st blurry photo, and compare the rim thickness above 'In God' on both...
