Looks like the results of a long acid bath.

I was really into weird experiments with cents as a kid - why, I have absolutely no clue.

Hmm... and afterwards, when he was done brushing, the coin being heavily wired at this point, he began to realize the severity of defacing a monetary valuable item. Thats when he grabbed a can of gold spray paint to cover up any traces of his crime and then earnestly spent the coin at the nearest gas station as to get rid of the evidence. Unfortunately pennies cant buy anything at all... but they are highly valued as a collectable piece to ... at least a few people I know. Lol

Kind of or sort of looks like something you shouldn't touch.
