Ok so I found this 1994 with some unique toning. Has anyone ever seen this before or know if it's natural or made? I posted pics of other pennies so you can see the difference..

I agree with the frog that this seems to be from some sort of chemical exposure—not a mint error.

Looks like there may be some sort of 'film-like' substance on the coin's surfaces--some of which has been removed while in circulation.

I've seen something similar if a new zinc/copper penny sits in water for a prolonged period

Or milk on it. Probably wash off if it is milk. Not a plus of for the coin.
