    It is a Copper Plated Zinc Cent.
    Environmental Damage can cause the plating to get eroded then expose the zinc core..
    As mentioned in first response causing zinc rot :yack:

    Not a Mint Error

    Crappy-crud Zincoln! Write your Congressperson and demand that they fire the entire Mint staff.

    I dunno, man. As into toned coins as you are, aren't the two things both "damage," just of different sorts?
