Possibly something was added to the surface of the coin and now worn partially off now showing the copper. It doesn't increase the value, actually lowers the value.

Its been identified as such and in this flip since at least 1975 when my grandfather died. Then it sat in a locked cabinet for well over 30 years. I suppose someone could have simply messed with it before it was in his possession and maybe he set it aside because he thought it strange. I'll keep it as is for the simple fact that its his handwriting and he passed before I was born.
