In 1982 some where made of copper, just like before 1982, some 1982 to present are made of zinc core which in a changed environment they will rot to dust given time. That is what is happening to your coin.

to the CCF and zinc rot. At one time it might have been a grease filled 9, but now with so much rot it's just a damaged coin.
