I got this penny many years ago, was in the card when I bought it. Lincoln's cheek seems to have an issue, the coin doesn't look plated. Any opinions?

Looks like post mint damage. There is also a good sized hit on the reverse above E of one. The variation in color on the surfaces makes me think this one was reprocessed (coated).

Look at the edge. Original steel cents have no zinc on the edge. The plating was applied before the blanks were punched.
