I was wondering if this was some sort of error or if the coin has been damaged/worn out? I would love any advice on knowledge of the coin or how to determine error coins from damaged coins!

    @agrace97
    That's what happens to copper plated zinc cents when exposed to liquids and chemicals.

    I metal detect and I have found hundreds of corroded cents such as yours.. Many even worse!
