Hey @pris, I'm seeing of the zinc core poking out from underneath the copper plating, such as on Abe's brow, much of the rim, and the first few letters of LIBERTY. This is a result of normal circulation wear. Is that what you are talking about or is it something else?

Whatever's going on with Liberty, I don't think it's damage.

Sure is strange looking here. I've seen this before, but not this bad (good?) but I have no idea what is causing it.

difficult to tell because the image is unnatural looking, perhaps overprocessed digitally

I see this a lot, with with the VLDS zinc coins a lot, but not nearly as bad as this, and mostly on the reverse. Typically on the "ES" of STATES and "OF" on uncirculated coins as well. My guess is some sort of Die Deterioration. But like other said, pictures are distorted, almost cartoon like.
