I did try to email Mike from his profile page here but he does not accept email that way. I will go to the coppercoins website and look for himi that way.
It's pretty clear to me that this cent was plated with a silvery metal outside the Mint. There is some wear at the high points of the obverse design, and this has exposed some of the underlying copper plating.
