just missed the wash process to put on a thin coating of copper and many are just coins thaT ARE given a slight acid bath to remove the copper coating

 

 

either way even if a genuine mint made mistake a common coin

 

as all cents made after 1982 are zinc with a copper wash plating whatever you wants to calls it

(Michael, the coin featured is pre-1982.)

 

I think it's been ATed. Copper will AT this color as the seventh or eight stage of applied butane heat.
