Underneath them holes - that's what your picture shows!
Realistically you should throw things like this right in the garbage and spend your time on credible error coins that are actually worth a few cents. JMO.

Look, it's obviously not from the mint. Watch my video, it's a science expirement. It's either zinc over copper like Mark said or copper being stripped to reveal zinc underneath (like I said).

@crazybo- sorry, didn't think about little johnnie and providing him with material  And  @OP, it's 'matte' becuase of the subsequent circulation after the expirement. |

Very heavy PMD. Been stripped of its Copper plating. Worth exactly one cents. Spender. Errers and Varietys.

After watching that video, I would really like to try that.  I don't know what yours is llewellyn but, my first impression was heavy environmental damage. Although, it very well could be the product of a science expirement with added corrosion. Either way, it has no additional value. It is too far gone to claim that it is a genuine unplated cent from the Mint. Keep searching and posting!  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

@spruett, only do it in a well ventilated area. It's some pretty toxic reactions.

It was copper plated before being altered. How can I tell? Note the area that peeled on the reverse? That is where the copperplating and what ever else was on the coin was over the zinc core. PSD, altered. |

When you make fun of people that are trying to learn all it does is make people not want to ask questions. Just because u have been doing this since the womb doesn't make it ok to laugh at people.
