Is this a die break, doubling? Why is it silver?
This is visible with the naked eye in places, only on the reverse, and is raised where all the silver is.

This is called "split plating doubling". As the coin was struck, the copper plating tore from the stress, exposing the underlying zinc core.

Yes exactly what @adam said. Not the good kind of doubling, but rather the start of a degradation process.

Not a plus for the coin.
