It's very important to have in the title. * Hi I am a relatively new collector. I've found several easy-to-spot and common pieces like the filled D error in quarters, but today I stumbled across what I think could be a double strike on a 1989 penny. I found it on the SE side of the mint mark, but after looking through different forums I think it may just be zinc corrosion. Can someone with a better eye confirm this for me? Thank you!

Any tiny bits of exposed zinc core will rapidly deteriorate.
