Color/appearance is all wrong for an original surface coin. Damaged/processed.

Agree - reprocessed, and the plating is wearing off in the places that you notice are "lighter".

They've been common novelty items for the past 50 years.

They've been replating them since the 50s.  |

As noted, it's been replated. Here's a split image of a BU and replated steel cent.  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

I remember buying a PDS set of replated steel cents back in the late '60's at a little hobby shop when I first started collecting coins. I remember thinking how nice and shiny they looked!  |
