There is a lot going on with this coin but not what you think. That can only happen with copper cents, not with copper plated zinc cents. I think it was a Grease Filled Die and then there are plating issue going on too. -makecents-

Must be a Greaser, can't explain it any other way. |

Yes, that would be a very nice example to put in a 2x2.

Doesn't look like any Greaser I've ever seen. There is something more involved with this one. I'm leaning toward PMD from a high heat source. "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI |

Yeah, it may be a Greaser but it's also sustained heat damage. I don't even think a Coinstar machine would take it. Edited by sickpuppy78501

I'm with NY Islander - the reverse roundish areas on and below the Memorial seem to be too well-defined to have been formed by grease.

So does the copper raise up and hide the devices? That's the only way I could see that happening. I won't argue with heat being applied but find it hard to believe that it would erase the devices without getting rid of the copper plating. Guess it could happen though....

I disagree with it being damaged by heat. I think it's just a major Struck Through error.

I am going to be alone on this and say it is a type of acid that has made pot holes in areas along with eaten away devices, there is clearly spotty area that are below field which to me, indicates acid.
