    This penny is so wierd, its half silver and in my opinion Lincoln's ear looks huge. So what do you think about the coin?

    The copper plating is peeling. Your coin is copper plated zinc. The copper plate is extremely thin.

    maybe someone put a small diluted drop of nitric acid on it to erode the copper?

    from what I read, be careful about doing this as it produces a poison gas as a by product of the reaction.
