List it on ebay as a rare error coin with a BIN price of say.....$60.000. I've seen others try even more ridiculous shenanigans.  Besides, you'll probably find your listing here in short order. http://goccf.com/t/166229Edited by DeputyMax

Looks like the type of change you need when you buy only one gallon of gas.

I am completely disgusted with the Copper Plated Zincolns. This is what happens to them, once the Zinc core is exposed. There's probably not going to be very many of these left in the future, because most of them will turn into nothing eventually.
Errers and Varietys.
