Agree with John1 on both accounts.
Zinc rot is quite common , especially in 82 and 83.

An advanced case of zinc rot, I might add.

With that amount of damage you really only needed to show us 1 or 2 photos of that coin for us to know that it's Zinc Rot .

Someone took a needle and poked through the plating exposing the zinc. The zinc gets oxygen and starts to rot. Not a good thing. Spend it soon. The clock is counting down on this one.

Carbon spots and zinc blisters/rot. Get rid of it while you still can!  p.s.- WAY too many photos, multiples when only one was needed. Select the best and forget the rest. Edited by merclover

Sounds like you are enjoying the hunt but as all have said, this is all damage. FYI- I don't know if Ragged Perforations (aka "Blow holes") are found on modern zinc cents, but I've never seen one. I'm sure that lack of them on zinc cents has to do with the difference in the production process. Ragged Clip link: http://www.error-ref.com/ragged-perforations/Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
