    Gasses from the zinc. Happens with dug up coins. They begin to deteriorate.

    Can you be a bit more specific with your questions, please? What is the reason for what? The discoloration? The corrosion? The pitting? The odd edge?

    post mint damage.

    The copper has worn off, or was stripped by acid.
    then the zinc naturally rots.

    Does that help?
