This is called split plate doubling. The copper was/split allowing air to corrupt the zinc, forms blisters(plating bubbles)

Bad Zinc Rot. Very common and typical for the Zinc cents. Worth 1 cent, but keep looking. :)

Have you weighed this coin? May be copper. But, it certainly does look like corroded zinc.
